Nice place, used to be the host of Rhythm and Booms(now shake the lake if memory serves). Has plenty of space for all sorts of activities. I've even been able to take a disc golf pin out near the trees by the tennis courts to just play back and forth to using the trees as pins as well. Most park related activities you can easily do here. Some may not consider it the best of neighborhoods, but I have yet to have anything go wrong to me. Just consider being a bit more careful around night time. Some areas are completely invisible from the roads, and might not be seen by a concerned citizen or cop if something happens.

Also, very nice restoration on the relatively untrammeled island in the midst of the lagoon,...
Read moreIt varies greatly...sometimes they are very helpful, professional and courteous - sometimes they act like they could care less.( rude,immature brats). The last time - after going through the drive-thru and having the order screwed up, I had to go in to remedy the situation. They basically fixed this problem - however it took them a while. So our ice cream melted and Burgers & Fries got cold. The one young man @ the register apologized numerous times - however the supervisor (a young man I've never seen before) acted bothered & never apologized & certainly didn't offer a coupon for a couple new sundaes the next time we visited. (I'd hit 4stars before I really thought it through... I tried to change it to 3stars - especially when I recalled a couple of other bad Encounters in the last 2 months... but I...
