very peaceful once you're not right beside the street. apparently there are seating areas as well. lots of uneven terrain, so be prepared for that. you can see basically the entire city once you get to the top. watch out for where people didnt pick up after their dogs though.

Very nice park to walk around with some really nice views (even though it's a combination of city and nature). Make sure to be hydrated and have water when you go. The big loop isn't hard but it can get you in some spots with the loose rock and changes in elevation. They unfortunately do not have a park store so I can't add to my collection but they do have a nice little play area for kids and a good amount of covered seating/picnic spots.

Has a little playground at the top which it looks like they are working to improve (it needs it!), clean restrooms, paved road is well done, trails are easy to navigate. Picnic tables and areas to throw your garbage away. Worth a little morning getaway. You could easily park at the bottom and hike up within an hour or two.
