A great place for all ages. It's an ideal spot for families with young children because there are playgrounds, and it's also perfect for dog lovers!

 

In addition to being a recreational destination, it is also one of the oldest parks in the area. The best part of it all is that no matter what season it is, there will always be some kind of wildlife around to see. No matter if it's deer grazing or birds flying through trees, there will always be something interesting happening at Hidden Lakes Park.  It is home to many local animals including deer, raccoons, geese, and more.

 

With more than 17 miles of trails and an abundance of natural beauty, you'll never be bored here!  The hillside in this park has many trails to choose from, and they're all short routes that are perfect for a quick outing. You can also take on the more challenging treks by linking other paths nearby. 

 

The fact that there's an impressive elevation difference between some of these hikes is nice—you'll get rewarded with gorgeous sights as you journey up one slope after another before finally reaching breathtaking views over the city below! This hidden gem is open 7 days a week year-round from 8 am to sunset and allows pets on leash.

 

Whether you want some time away from the hustle and bustle or just need to get out into nature for a bit, there's something for everyone. It's well worth checking it out if this sounds like your scene.
