This was our first time going here and it was really nice. The whole area is so beautiful and the weather in the canyon feels cooler than the city. Love the flowing water while we were there. There are plenty of picnic tables with bbq's next to them to choose from and trash cans. There were not a lot of people when we went. It's dog friendly as long as there is a leash on. They also have bathrooms available to use. The parking is easy too.
