This forty-acre park in Arlington features a half-mile trail that takes you across the stream and up into the hills. A geology lovers paradise, the park features a very diverse geologic profile with evidence that suggests a near-shore marine environment might have existed at one time. Marine shales, siltstones, mudstone containing inner beds of calcareous fossil clams, gypsum layers and fine grain sandstone have been found there. The only downside is a very small parking lot.
