Good for kids
We visited on a cooler than normal, end of August day. There were really no bugs to speak of, but because of all of the standing water, I have to assume they're pretty awful in the heat of the summer. The trails were quite overgrown, often by thorny growth. But that was really only in some of the lower flat sections along the standing water. There's a great boardwalk section that keeps you off the muddy floor. The trails are all pretty easy, even for the toddlers in our group (3 years old). It's a small enough park that the trail maps are easy enough to follow, but the color choices are odd (like when you find yourself at a 3 way intersection where all 3 directions are blazed red). There was a Bob stroller in our group which another parent bravely pushed through the overgrowth and manhandled up the fairly rocky, root strewn, steeper slopes. So that is possible though not recommended. Dogs are allowed off leash (if under voice control), which is great. There was a warning sign up that there were coyotes around ... So let your dogs off at your own discretion. All in all, I think there are better parks around. Including the Whipporwill park just up the street!

Nice variety of terrain...not too challenging ...nice babbling brooks!
Beautiful preserve with well maintained trails and good vibes.
Very lovely place to hike and not crowded at all!
Very nice quick hike for kids, no big inclines, lots of ponds, streams etc to explore, but not good for off leash dogs. Tightly tucked among large properties with deferred maintenance fences that are easy for roaming dogs to get lost or stuck behind. Also very muddy during wet months and will be very buggy in Summer, but beautiful. We'll go back, but without our hound.
