Good to know
The official page identifies an easy sidewalk loop but does not publish numeric grade, cross-slope, width, curb-ramp, or street-crossing measurements. Follow only the round blue #41 markers: the separate #42 route from this gateway includes stairs and unpaved trail. Park events or maintenance can alter circulation.
