"I heard about & waited for a week for the open house (gates unlocked) & went! I sure am happy that we did! Finally I was able to track down "the Lost Dutchman" & inquire about some certain items. Met an enthusiastic staff, did the scavenger hunt, & had a GREAT time! Quite interesting to view the headstones & symbolism. Looking forward to another open house! Brochure says "open Thurs 10-2pm, BUT I wouldn't count on it. I would look @ Assoc. Facebook page (they're mostly volunteers!) Quite interesting Side note: Re: "Dutchman" You'll just have to read about me in the newspapers! LOL If you get the time & are in to pioneer cemeteries...Go! it's interesting."

"This is worth a visit if you are close by. Lots of information about what happened that day in Pearl Harbor and it’s very sobering to read and to visualize the ship. Next time I go, I’m going to visit this site at night to get the full effect of the arrangement of the lights."

"The amount of projects at naranja Park that remain unfinished or half done is appalling. The fact they made sure that this was finished in its entirety landscape beautifully is a testament to waste. Also Big Star thing in the middle looks goofy."
