When I first visited the park I saw deer from time to time. In recent years I have not seen a single deer. Because of the high number of park visitors it is unusual to see any kind of wildlife except for birds and squirrels. The most common four legged mammal I have seen year round are dogs. One of my favorite times to visit the park is on rainy gray summer and fall days.
Few people go to the park when the weather is poor.
It's quiet, peaceful, and all of its charm shows through.
