The planners of this beautiful park made sure that it was accessible to everyone. It has picnic areas (some require reservations), a playground, a large grassy area, and a paved trail that loops around the park. The paved trail is multi-use – hikers, bicycles, runners, strollers, wheelchairs, and dog-friendly (doggy bags are provided). The visitor center showcases the history of Marital Cottle Family Ranch. One of the interesting things to see is the farmland that the trail encompasses. Organic farmers grow produce which will be for sale to the public.
There isn’t much shade on the trail, so during hot days, it’s best to come in the morning or late afternoon. With two accessible parking areas, both with accessible restrooms, you can relax and enjoy a meal at wheelchair-friendly picnic tables. Being a wheelchair user, I found the park to be very accessible.
