Bartholomew Park ties into Town Square Park via a couple footbridges built over water in Laguna West. There are benches spread out across the park with views of the man-made lake and the city structures circling the park. There are not a ton of walking paths here, but it's a great place to stretch the legs without ever having to leave town.
