This is a beautiful place to visit! The views are spectacular! It offers a wide range of activities. There's a playground for the kids, benches to sit and rest & enjoy the views, basketball hoops for game or shooting around, pavilions small and large for gatherings and grills for cookouts as well as sidewalks along the perimeter for walking or jogging. I am absolutely in love with this place!

There was no running water in this park, neither in toilets nor in any of the water fountains. We had reserved 2 shelters for a party of 100+ folks including small children and had a hard time without any water on the facility. I’d look elsewhere to arrange a party of this scale next time.

Our club picnic was a success and the Northbank pavilion we had reserved was full to capasity. The new grill worked out perfictly for us. As far as a recommendation, it may be time to update some of the tables, but nothing was unuseable. We look forward to doing again next year.

Nice picnic area, walking path, play ground and views of dam and surrounding lake and reservoir. There are water fountains and out houses vs. bath rooms.

Everything was great with one exception. It appears that the grills have been used for many years and are in need of some maintenance. The grates are warped and in bad shap. it appears that people in the passed have been using rocks to help level the charcoal grates. Other than that all was good. Our Club had a great time and we have all agreed to plan for another one next year.

Everything was in good condition! I reserved this pavilion for my sons first birthday and it was perfect! Other than the fact that it was SUPER windy. Haha but overall experience was good.
