We've been picnicking here since I was a child in the 1980s. Honestly, it's not like it used to be. The trees are an improvement, it used to have no windbreak and the wind was terroble, haha! Though, now the playground equipment really needs redone, and it would be great if someday the bathrooms were updated (they're the hole in the floor type), BUT if you want a quiet place with a picnic shelter, a water spigot, nearby bathroom, and BBQ, it's perfect.
