Two spillways that cross the river provide a pleasing soundtrack to the park’s relaxed atmosphere, at least when crowds aren’t streaming to the water to escape the summer heat.
The wildlife are the typical residents of a city park – nutria, mallard ducks, raccoons, squirrels and families on a picnic.
The scenic river, lined with live oaks, bald cypresses and other majestic vegetation is fed by springs in the limestone hills. A short nature trail clings to one side of the river.
