Official listing
Bring water and shade gear
Summer sun exposure is significant with few natural shade spots, and reviewers consistently mention needing to bring water.
Arrive well before closing time
Gates close at 9pm but have locked earlier than posted, trapping visitors who arrived before the official closing time.
Inspect playground before letting kids play
Cleanliness varies significantly; some visits show trash and graffiti while others report sanitized equipment.
Good for family picnics and gatherings
Reviewers praise the riverside location, open space for kids to run, picnic tables, and grills for family events.
Book pavilion early and arrive early
Restrooms were sometimes closed or poorly maintained, and pavilion rental ($150–$225) did not guarantee a clean space upon arrival.
