Quiet place in the city to recharge

Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool

The Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool is a hidden pond surrounded by flowers and plants and beautiful architecture. It's a lovely shady spot to rest and reflect, and it is a popular spot for small wedding ceremonies. Some people (like me) like to include the path around the pond on their running routes. Overall it's a zen, peaceful oasis in the city. Read more ›
