Guide

Good to know

Good for a picnic

Picnic facilities on site, with room to sit and eat near the play area.

Official listing

Good for toddlers and younger kids

Shallow, calm water with lifeguards, a large playground, and nearby restrooms make it suitable for families with small children.

Arrive early for shaded seating

Covered picnic tables and gazebos fill up by mid-morning, especially on weekends and school breaks.

Plan to leave before sunset

The beach closes at 8pm and the park becomes less staffed, so aim to finish before dark.

Bring supplies for a full day

Pack sunscreen, hats, water, snacks, and a beach chair since amenities are limited and the small beach area fills quickly.

How we know this. Place details from the public Google business listing; facilities inferred from 100 visitor reviews; playground outlines and amenity positions from OpenStreetMap (ODbL), which is also what the size is measured on; aerial imagery from USGS (2022). Attributes appear only when the evidence clears our confidence bar, and review text is never republished. The unedited aerial shows tree cover, which is our second check on shade.
