Reviews
Nice community park with a sandy beach and crystal clear lake access.
Beautiful play and picnic features.
Public restroom onsite
The lake is beautiful! A nice place to stop for a picnic, and for the kids to play. Lots of watercraft action to watch out on the water. So much energy! Love it!
Really gorgeous place for the kids with a little beach and a demarcated part of the lake for them to paddle/swim. The water by the shore is shallow enough for toddlers. The park has a good range of play things for older and younger children and in good condition. The restrooms were open in summer and not bad. Also has a large covered eating area.
Its a decent park! The playground and beach area are very nice but the park people could do a better job at maintaining the property. One example is all The geese and duck poop in the beach area where all the kids play.
Also, fixing the restrooms! They are a mess!
Great place to take family. A decent lake there to swim and a good size playground.
Plenty of picnic tables @ the pavilion. You can reserve the pavilion as well. Just contact the village for more info..
There are plenty of picnic tables dotted around the area with grills.
There is a small beach area with buoys however no lifeguard
The only thing that you need to be prepared for is lots of geese feces and some pet feces.
The bathrooms certainly need LOTS of work. I don’t know what the men’s restroom is like but the women’s is a disaster waiting to happen.
Still a great way to spend a summer day!
