Was not expecting the $3 parking fee. Kinda bummed me out as the park isn't as clean as I wish it was. Grass poorly taken care of in most places but still a nice place to enjoy the heat. Water is alright it's not disgusting and we decided to swim but it's pretty green and cloudy and there's TONS of seaweed/random debris. Overall not satisfied but not mad. Had a good time but don't know if I'll be coming back anytime soon unless I can find parking elsewhere.

I like how big this park is, there are lots of walking paths and a big bonus is that they're really close to the lake and make for a great scenic view. There are multiple covered areas available throughout the park for rent during day use. There are usually bathrooms open, but during the fall/winter months they're typically closed which can be a huge inconvenience if you're bringing little kids and bring your own soap/sanitizer, I never have any luck with there being any.Places for fishing, lots of ducks. The only thing is that this place is very sketchy in the early early morning... seems to be a place under the covered areas near the entrance where people go to score drugs. Stopped bringing my kids there that early, other then that it's great during the day.

Festival of lights was perfect. Kids got tired of walking but it was great family time and the exercise is good for us all πŸ₯°

This park is a wonderful place to walk around with my pup and enjoy the trail and the view. The trail is paved and it loops around, you’re able to exercise without getting lost. There are gazebos in there that you could rent out for a gathering when in season. When not in season, you could use it to have a picnic or just enjoy some time at the park.

Questions & Answers

We've been waiting in line for the last hour. Not sure we will get to the gate by 9. Will we be turned away?

Kristina Sawvell | Jan 3, 2021
TBMS Yearbook | Jan 4, 2021

No, they advertise that they close at 9 but they will stay open till the end of the line. We went one day (New Years Eve) and we didn't get in till 11:30 the line was so long. I recommend getting in line at 8:45 as it will be shorter.
