Nice to come to visit the place during weekend if you don’t know where to go but want to chill outdoors a bit. Have some peacocks in the park and the garden view.Full review by Joi-2049
Where exactly is this cottage?me and my husband just ended up in the reserve hiking we couldn't find the cottage where the peacocks are sad tho
A:
From where I parked, the trails were on the right, and the cottage was on the left. I added a photo (likely still being reviewed by Trip Advisor) to help clarify.
Is this park free, if not how much just to see and take pictures? Thank you, Jhughes
A:
This park is free and a great place to spend a day. You can also reserve the house for events, info on that is on the Parks and Recreation website. Great for weddings or family parties.
