The coordinates are for the far corner or the beginning corner whatever your relative position is. There is a large sign to greet you. It is located at the intersection of Kings Highway & Park Boulevard.

We particularly enjoy this park as it features a "Watchable Wildlife Walk" interpretive trail. Some of the signs are in disrepair but it is still fantastic to take your kid and go for a nature walk; we do it all the time! There are also several bridges and many fishing areas if the mood should strike.

There are scattered stone abstract sculptures. One looks like a person, another a turtle and still another a blob. My son enjoys climbing on them. Parking is plentiful. This is just a beautiful place to visit. The lady who it is named after was also a real nice person and it was a terrible loss for the community when she died inn the automobile collision.
