The path will wind left, then right, then left around the small parking area.
At the T, go left on the path and go left at the next T.
The path will curve right, then left, then right. At the intersection with the climbing web structure, turn right to follow the path.
When you reach the paved area at the baseball fields backstops, stay left on the path.
When you see the Private Drive sign, turn right on the path, keeping the pavilion and playgrounds on your left.
Just past the playground, stay straight on the path, keeping the pavilions on your left, then turn left at the T intersection.
Take the next right, just past the large metal powerline structure. The path will then bear left and left again.
Continue to the T and the post will be straight ahead at a tree. Return to the path and head right (from the T) toward Church Rd. Take the next left, toward the parking area and walk along the parking area to pavilion C.
Turn left here and keep the pavilion on your right onto the paved path. At the T, turn right and head toward the pond.
Take the next right, toward the pond, walking across the stage to the path and return to the parking area.

The giant Pacific octopus is the largest and the Octopus Wolfi is the smallest octopus in the world.
They do not have bones in their arms or body, which makes them super flexible. One of the suckers on an octopus can lift objects as heavy as 35 pounds.
A large octopus can slip inside a small bottle, like a water bottle, and bend into small places such as between rocks, allowing them to hide from their enemies.
