ready to accommodate summer crowds. Rent the picnic shelter for a large
gathering with family or friends, or simply bring a small group to spend
a fun day in the sun. Amenities include outdoor grills (you bring the
charcoal!), picnic tables, a playground, sand volleyball court,
restrooms/showers, grassy meadow (perfect for Frisbee), and a dock.
During the summer months there is a designated, lifeguarded swimming
area, as well as a 100-yard lap swim area. This park is wheelchair
