“North America’s third-largest park draws eight million visitors per year, many of whom may skate or walk past you on the Seawall, a scenic, 5.5-mile path running along the water on the park’s perimeter,” wrote TripAdvisor.
“It’s just one of many trails among the park’s 1,000 acres, which also house an aquarium, nature center and other recreational facilities.”
