Plenty of space and pavilions for family gatherings. Great place to play on the grass or playground in the early mornings before the Sun heats up the equipments. There were tennis courts; some were converted to pickleball and I saw several people playing pickleball. Many fishers trying to catch catfish (according to the park ranger, the lake has catfish). I also saw a lake management boat on the lake surveying and doing maintenance. I asked the park ranger if anyone can bring their boat out on the lake, he said personal boats are no longer allowed.

I recommend that you stay on the west pathways if you want to walk in more shade and less dust. I saw many vehicles drive down the west pavement to the south end of the park to the picnic tables. There is a thinner well-maintained dirt path to walk along the west side of the lake. The path on the east side of the lake is a wide dirt path, where many mountain bikers or family with baby strollers like to go on.

A fun tip: if you want to walk further, the south end of the park has a paved walkway that passes by the water treatment center and connect to the Niguel Botanical Preserve, YMCA, and the community center. Highly recommended to check out the Niguel Botanical Preserve if you're in the area and like to learn more about how to plant a beautiful garden in similar climates to southern California.
