Bird lovers can spot many different birds throughout the season. The Ross' and the Cackling Goose are popular among bird watchers. Western Bluebirds are also home in the park and often show their feather. In wintertime, the highlight is to spot one of the visitors for the season which is the White-Crowned Sparrow.

Hummingbirds are beautiful to look at and if bird watcher or not anyone loves their sight. Various types of hummingbirds reside in the park and look for food on the several bird feeders placed in the trees.

The park is also popular for day visitors since picnic facilities are available throughout the park. For outdoor lovers, an open kitchen is located at the Lakeview Terrace offering a stunning view across the pond.
