Right off of D-hwy, but still peaceful over looking the lake. It's my grandsons favorite park so whenever he comes to visit, we are having lunch in the park at one of the many tables.
Just stopped by for a few minutes. Beautiful view of the lake and the grounds are really nice and clean. Nice playground for kids but its closed due to virus for now.
