1. From the parking area, walk carefully in the parking area toward the entrance to the park to pick up the paved path, turning left on the path with the parking area on your left and the road to your right.
2. Walk past the baseball field on your left as the path curves right and then left. Stay on the path, passing the pavilion and a playground on your left.
3. Stay straight on the path, walking toward another larger playground on the left. You are now walking past the Elementary School on the left.
4. Walk past the bathroom and the baseball field and just ahead is the post on your left.

6. As you near the next playground, take the right at the Y, heading toward the flagpole. Go around the flagpole on the right and take the first path to the right toward the pavilion.
