Mount Bonnell Park

A great view. The park is nice and a popular scenic view. What you may not know is it is also popular among the crooks. Check out the parking area and note the broken glass on the ground. This is an indication of side windows being broken out and purses and wallets being stolen.

If you are looking to get away from people, and just relax in nature, this is not the place.
