Insider tips
- **Plan for Intimate Gatherings:** The park is ideal for smaller family picnics or barbecues; bring your own food and grilling supplies.

- **Check Benches:** Consider bringing a towel or wipes if you plan to sit on the benches, as they have been reported to collect standing water/bird pools.

"This is a great little secluded park. It's not crowded and has a nice playground for the kids. It also has a small Pavillion to have a little barbeque. It's not big enough for a family reunion but perfect for an intimate gathering."
