This park can surprise you. In a good way, if you are outdoorsy.
Sorry, I don't know what Becker's Park is like. But in the 1960s Becker's Farm was one of the most fantastic places for children to visit. Itinerary:
1.1. A long miniature train ride out through the fields. A real train on steel tracks, not some fake cars with rubber wheels towed by a tractor. 1.2. While riding, look for the salt licks out in the fields to attract the cows.
2. Tour the cow barn. Read the names of the cows, and their milk production stats. The barn must have had good ventilation because it wasn't smelly.
3. Drink a carton of some of the most delicious chocolate milk ever made. Probably loaded with fat and sugar.
I lived in a nearby town so we went there pretty often.
Glad to hear it's a park. The last time I drove by the area, I only saw office buildings.
Becker Park is perfect for a daily walk, especially if you have a dog. The small trail is just the right length for a quick and refreshing stroll. it's a great spot to unwind and enjoy some fresh air with your pet.
Nice trail a couple routes and open field
