★★★★★a year agoFantastic park with a diverse array of people, including many frolicking goths. In addition to the old folks, families, and joggers, we found large groups of fabulously outfitted young goths and punks playing wholesome games in the sunshine. It was delightful. And no, I'm not kidding. This park is packed with game-playing goths and I'm here for it.
