Labarque Creek Conservation Area
Nature preserve
👍 This park is certainly a hidden gem in an area with a good amount of state parks to explore. This one's a bit more off the beaten path, and would be VERY easy to miss. The parking lot is a nondescript gravel area with some benches and wildflowers.
The trail is a pretty long loop, so be ready to c...

Sunridge Park

And plenty of benches surrounding the play area. Hoping there are plans in the works to restore and r...
