1 mile mark from the "start" of this section of the trail. It opens up to a big open section that has park benches protected by a roof. The Parks department does a great job managing the natural space and balancing that with the recreational interests of visitors. There are lots of foot trails off the main paved path to explore. Unfortunately litter is often found on those paths.
