Clean bathrooms, clean playground, and plenty of shade for a picnic. There are also covered picnic tables near playground. I took my 3 year old. We had a nice walk around the lake. We saw ducks and some birds. I could not identify one of them having not seen it before. There were a few people fishing in the lake. Other children were present at the playground and played nicely with my son. Overall it was a nice visit. We will be back again.

Meh. It's clean. The playground is nig if you have kids. Lots of shade. Big pavilions and multiple bathrooms for this small park with several water features. So why only 3 stars? Unhomed in the park. Several. There's also not that much to it and the real kicker, pay to park. Unacceptable. I might have given it a fourth star if not for that ridiculous restriction.
