They hang out at various places in the park. The photos here were taken right next to the driveway entry gate! When I drove in I couldn't wait to get out of my car as I had passed them getting into the parking lot. They were walking the strip of grass between the parking area fence and Sheridan road. When I got out of my car (I was hurrying to get my camera stuff before the ran away), I walked back out the entry gate to them. I crouched down and stood still and they walked to me and past me within several feet. Several times I even backed off to be not-so-close!
Other times I've seen them in the cow pasture on the west side of the park, which can be overlooked from the elevated pathway. Also in that pasture, in one of the maleluca trees, is a nest. This nest was occupied by a Merlin several weeks ago, but I haven't seen anything there since then. MF
