Moses Springer Park
Park
🫤 Went there today, but there is no sign of park behind the pool area 😵💫
Update: Went again today. If you follow the map, you will be lost. When coming from Weber-Mackay, don’t take the trail next to outdoor pool, instead keep walking past the parking area and it will take you to the park.
