👍👍 Such a beautiful place! There’s some nice walking trails around where you can look at all the different nature that is able to survive in the cold winters, lots of great information and facts about animals and plant species I have never heard of. The walking trail was beautiful!

Majestic View Nature Center

👍👍 This is a fantastic place if you want to play some after-work tennis because the courts are rarely used. The area is nice for a walk after too.

The trail takes you through several, well maintained city parks and...
