Clean facility. New clean appliances. Friendly staff and customer service. More than enough room for my daughter’s graduation party. Great rate for the shelter.

Nicely shaded pavilion at shelter 4. It was the first pavilion entering the park and didn’t have other tables people could reserve on one side, which would be nice if the park was super busy. The park restroom is very close and it was clean. The paths to the pavilion were paved which was nice

Small area but nice on top of hill and not close to lake. Plenty of parking but water wasn't available as advertised.

We had a wonderful time, played volleyball, set up our cornhole boards and the kids loved being close to the park. The bathrooms were not very clean but it was nice having a facility instead of a port-a-potty.

Place was great. Good for social distancing. Open air close to the water.
Bathroom near the shelter was locked. We have to walk to a far bathroom
