The Heart in the Park

Love Is in the Air

If you only have time for a short stop to stretch your legs and breathe the fresh air, visit our Heart in the Park. The unique heart “maze” is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Find the center with a loved one. And if you have time, catch a sunset or even the stars.
