Description

My starting point was Emma Park at the south end of this network, but you could park in many places and use any part of the paths shown to make it your own. Emma Park is a small loop in itself with a nice playground. As you head north out of Emma Park, you utilize some of the golf course paths to take you out to the main streets. There is a large, continuous loop around the Rec Center, High School and King Park which is shown for this route. But you can also use several of the cross connectors that can slice this route up into whatever length you want it to be.

There are several playgrounds along the way, a swimming pool, skate park, splash park and picnic shelters also. As you leave the park and head south back to Emma Park, the path is pretty sterile and exposed as you travel down Industrial Ave, but they've planted trees along the way that will be big enough to block the wind in about 15 years.

Flora & Fauna

Deer, raccoon, opossum, and armadillos.

traffic wise, this is probably the more peaceful side of the park, away from the main road on the West side of the park.

This seemed a little weird, but the connection from Emma Creek Park used some of the paved paths in the golf course to get over to King Park.
