We found this place when looking for a place with public grills available & it did not disappoint! There were many grills available in a big open field with lots of picnic tables as well. There were several different families hosting parties and we were able to have our own corner of the field. We really enjoyed it.

Really nice place for a small party or just a picnic or cookout. The bathroom was really clean and smelled nice, unlike a lot of other outside bathrooms. Lots of bees in the trees though that kept bothering us.
