Very nice trail to go for a hike/walk. However, there are no trees thus no shade (besides a couple of shade structures), so plan accordingly. Initial leg of the trail is pretty smooth gravel trail (probably wheelchair accessible), but later parts (including going up the volcano) has some rough spots, nothing terrible, but watch your footing.
This is a nice visit, I did this on a Spring day in April because there is absolutely no shade at the top on the 3 mile round trip trail to the top of the volcano. There are many petroglyphs that are visible. The contrast between the black basaltic rocks and the grass is quite remarkable.
An interesting place. While you can definitely find a sense of peace and place in this park, several hiring trails are adjacent to housing complexes! It makes for interesting juxtaposition of an ancient indigenous site and contemporary living.
