i think alot of people have been there and didn't know that it was designed by Olmsted,lol... they are remodeling now and soon the fountains will be restored to the original use... there are a series of oval ponds with spray fountains that lead you up to the top of the place...

I like the contrasts... those beautiful trees in the front, and then that amazing skyline.

Wouldn't be a bad place to end up at all...
