Luther King Jr. Waterfall – On a warm day, this waterfall is a
wonderful place to play. Dabble little fingers in the water, trace the water
flow from the upper pool, down a series of "cataracts" into the
lower pool. Go behind the waterfall several times (you might get a little
wet). Next to the waterfall is the Esplanade, a wide grassy area
to run around. Bring a picnic and sit out in the sun like lizards. |
