People have events and wedding receptions at the pavilion—it’s a super popular place. Not to mention, there are all 8 species of swans here in the lake, which isn’t seen anywhere else.” Shaded paths lead to butterfly gardens, lookout points along Swan Lake and the Braille Garden, which offers plaques with Braille to help visually impaired visitors enjoy the park.
