There is a bathroom facility and splash pad for kids. Overall an excellent get away from the city and the hustle and bustle to enjoy the calmness of the lake and a breeze...

Also saw either a mink or a weasel on the breakwall. Interesting to watch from a distance, didn't want to get too close to upset it.

Lots of free parking. There is a roadway but it is not cleared for wheelchairs etc. Fine in the summer. No...
