An issue with all Provincial parks is getting the park pass. Once that (less convenient process than before) is out of the way the park overall is a good experience for active people/families whether camping in the summer or as day use during the year

Camping Located close to Winnipeg as young families (with one stay at home parent) we camped with friends and working spouses commuted work days. Unless there are special events camp unserviced sites are generally available - others often get reserved quickly the set day reservations open.

The experience has sdvantages and disadvantages compared with the other parks. The man made lake remains boasts little natural beauty but remains relatively clean (former quarry that is spring fed?) and has a decent "lifeguard" crew but the limitations are due to the small size and location. It is a bit of a hike for the elderly and families with young children so a wagon, trailered bike or car ride in are considerations.

A local store is basic but handy. Good access to usually clean washrooms. Paid showers near store look/feel Soviet era cold concrete...

Activities Swimming laps can be challenging at busy times and canoeing/kayaking or really any separate floating devices are not permitted. Not certain if fishing is decent or even available in the "back waters" - I haven't paid close attention.

Road cycling/running/hiking/inline skating/assisted vehicles. The oval road loops the park and is mostly flat and straight but the decently wide shoulder is an assuring buffer from 60 km max roadway. A few dedicated paved paths are more winding and have more elevation changes but due to popularity have speed limitations due to sometimes slower cyclists and meandering pedestrians.

Skate skiers have access to the group use roads and a few other strips - good for a workout but a mostly flat road turned track - I found mostly well groomed.

Gravel/mountain bikes and classic skiers have additional options with good access to many well maintained dedicated paths that wind up and down in the park. In rain some spots can get wet but the sandy loam never accumulates like the close by Red River gumbo. In that sense trails are all weather. In winter most paths have double groomed lanes so faster skiers can easily mix it up with the slower.

Burr Oak is a decent crosscountry mountain bike trail that has a few very tame technical bits and mostly flowing, sometimes rooted trails that can be enjoyable for novice and experienced riders alike.

With the bike/pedestrian bridge over Hwy 59 there are good access points to the floodway paths north and south.

I experienced few encounters with large wildlife except deer although I have heard of coyote, wolf, bear and even cougar activity but cannot comment about veracity of these claims.

I have not attempted using park with persons that have severely restricted motion but because many surfaces are flat due to the prairie terrain this may be one of the most accessible Provincial parks.
