Beautiful place to do picnics. Lovely area with tables and open spaces. Lots of birds chirping. The parking lot is enormous so finding a space is no problem. There is small food store that sells Mexican treats like corn and sliced mangoes by the entrance. Lots of people jogging or walking around with their kids and dogs. I love this place especially during spring and summer. The sled hill is popular to do your sledding during the winter.

Not because it was over capacity. The hill was a thrill! Until you have to dig your heels in to steer through the crowded area...
