It was a nice venue for our Family Reunion. Clean grounds, and restrooms were presentable. Playground equipment was clean and safe for children to have fun. Plenty of parking and little traffic to worry about.

We were very happy with the site. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that the reserve sign was not put up and we had to ask people
to leave the shelter. Fortunately I had paperwork and the people cooperated.
