With its serene environment and lovely surroundings, Menil Park has been a favorite spot for many, offering a calm place to relax and enjoy nature.
Beautiful park outside of the Menil collection gallery. People were doing yoga in the park, painting and picnic. It was not crowded and highly recommend. It was humid during the afternoon.
