I stopped in for a visit today and really enjoyed the serenity especially with the live music. If it wasn’t so hot I would just laid in the grass to soak it all in. What a great find!
We had a great time visiting the park with our family for a socially distanced birthday party. Can I suggest turning off the music? It was too loud while visiting and detracted from appreciating the art on display. We spent 2 hours there and between the masks and music we felt like we were yelling at each other.
