This park had lots of reasonable options, we suggest that if you want rent any Pavillions the ones not close to the water are better if you want peace from a lot of bugs.

What a fun playground. The slides were great and the kids had a great time hiding in the many little nooks. The padding was good and plenty of tables and benches to sit and watch. Also pretty good shade while we were there. Only negatives is could use more sand in the box and maybe clean the restrooms. We will be back!
