Arrive early for parking and seating
The lot fills quickly on busy days, forcing people to park on grass areas where children may be.
Bring your own chair and shade
The six covered tables and benches fill up fast, especially on hot summer days when the park is crowded.
Supervise closely during peak hours
Older kids sometimes cut slide lines and push smaller children; no lifeguard is on duty to intervene.
Plan for limited restroom facilities
Only two port-a-potties are available, and reviewers report they are not always clean or well-maintained.
