Nice park. Clean, decent playground equipment and a nice wading pool for the kids. Parking is free but also limited. Great place for gatherings and events (birthdays, reunions, etc). Pavilions have their own "Kitchenetes" for your use for events, I assume at some sort of rental rate.

I wish I could visit. I went over one weekend to talk to people at the club and find out costs, etc. However, the main gate was locked with a punchcode on it. There were no instructions or bell to ring. So that's that - I've never gone back. They look nice from the outside, though.
