    "Traffic is manageable through town most times and days. Only delays caused by railroad traffic. Taxi service suspect/ not reliable"
  • Cami Y.
    "Parents should know the duck park has been a place of serenity for my daughter and I. The ducks do not seem to pay no mind as the geese we steer clear of. It has never been too crowded at the park part. Kids are of a younger age than that of those who go to the Centennial Park, making it perfect for my four year old !"
