Beautiful place in the city

The weather got nice for a February weekend and I chose to go for a run at Chalco. I arrived around 11, there was plenty of parking near the visitors center and it was easy to navigate to the trail. This was my first time running here but luckily the trail is easy to follow as it is paved around the lake. There was no debris on the pathway and it wasn't crowded despite the good weather! There are bathrooms and portapottys spaced around the park.
