It was a cloudy, drizzling day so there were very few other people around in the park. We were unhappy to see that the entrance fee had been raised from $5 to $8 per car (embarrassed to make our guests pay that). The shelter was in good shape, clean and the lights worked great. We used the grill and the trash cans, nothing else. It is a beautiful location and the shelter holds a very large group of people. We were very happy with it overall. On a warm sunny day you could do all sorts of water activities all day long.

This is our second time renting this area and we plan to continue to do so every two years for a Club Anniversary. It is private and with doc access to the lake a great place for a gathering.

The pavilion at Lanier Park was perfect for our church group of about 60 people. We have used that facility several times over the years, and we've never been disappointed. The view is great, the breeze off the water moderates even the hot days of August, and the comfort stations located a short walk away.
