A great set of hiking trails with lots of ponds with bird and plant life for the kids to watch. Stroller friendly pathways. To get there, go all the way down Riperian View (about a mile) to a dirt lot on your right.

This place doesn't look like much at first. When we arrived, my wife and I looked at each other and sighed at having driven all the way here. The area is a bunch of man-made ponds next to each other, but it is surprisingly a nice walk. We took the baby and walked around and looked a birds and plants. We had a picnic on a bench overlooking a pond with a blue herron not 30 feet away from us while we ate. If you take the more northern pathways, they have better tree cover and you feel like you are completely out of the city.
