`This park is really a treasure. It's rare to have such a wonderful natural park in a very urban environment. This is likely to be the most diverse area of natural habitat than any urban park. Sadly there is also lots of invasive species of Ivy, that crawl up the trees and eventually kill them. Thankfully there are a few good souls who try to keep the Ivy at bay.
This park is pretty expansive. The southernmost part is a very easy walking trail and great to get out and stretch your legs. The part of the park to the north has numerous trails some well worn and others less used. Some have steep inclines and can be tricky to explore. There is a BMX course on the northern side and has a nice variety of trails for the mountain biker to explore, but you will be walking your bike with certainty at many different points.
The saddest part about this park, is the few boneheads that bring in trash and leave it for others to pick up. I often carry a machete, don't let me catch you discarding your garbage....
Perrinville creek is the superstar of this hike. You can follow it down to Talbot Rd. where then it runs upon private property and is not accessible. BE it right or wrong... Following the creek is tricky. Expect to get your boots wet.
