Nice escape inside the park as the stairs and narrow path seems to keep the foot traffic down. A bubbling brook and towering trees also make this a safe haven from the heat.,

This is just a walkway along some water in the trees and ferns. Not wheelchair/stroller friendly. Very narrow path when you have others walking by the opposite direction.
