$11 per boat per 30 minutes, worth trying. Different duck and goose species present in the lake banks. Perfect place for a weekend picnic..

Very nice public space, with plenty of ducks, and birds to enjoy. There's also pedal boats available to rent. Currently, there is construction on-site that on occasion disrupts the peaceful ambience. It's estimated completion according to the site is 2024, just something to keep in mind. Some of the duck species you'll find at the lake include: 1️⃣ Muscovy Duck 2️⃣ American Peking 3️⃣ Black-Bellied Whistling Duck 4️⃣ Egyptian Goose
