((AUGUST 19 2021)) I went to the park to comb the beach with my new metal detector. Now I was very surprised considering the 90 degree( F) weather the beach was not even open. The sign stated "Beach is Closed" and we still have plenty of summer left. So I was confused. Now , I did hear on the news maybe a month or two there was another drowning on the lake and wondered if it was closed due to the unfortunate accident or was it the geese made the lake unsafe from feces..? The beach looked bad and feces from geese strewn all over the sandy beach.. so, to date beach is closed.

The park portion is beautiful considering hwy 65 (Central Ave) runs right next to it. Was not busy with maybe 20 people in the park max. Big lot for parking, a nice grassy areas to picnic, outhouse were clean and all around a clean and nice looking park.. great for city dwellers and families to chill and relax in a just inside a nice suburban area. Some walking trails, ball courts, and fields to get a game of anything going with the right amount of people. Well, being the beach wasn't open for reasons unknown. Overall the park comes with a high recommendation, a nice place to visit. .
