Went on the 4th of July. It was super busy as you can imagine. Tons of families (predominately Latino). I was a little irritated by the soccer "futbol" game across our picnic area. Given we were charged $25, I think the park workers should have enforced some rules. Why should I have to duck or be mindful of a ball coming at me when I am at a picnic?
There is a small beach area near the picnic area (10ft X 10ft lots). Initially, we shared the area with a single women and her small child. It was peaceful.

It's cleaner and has a kids playground, changing area. Great...

But it turned out to not be so great - it wasn't too well maintained in certain areas, the paths were rocky, and it was filled with mosquitoes!! We were there for only 10 minutes and got attacked by mosquitoes and left.
I won't rate it much lower than 3 stars because we didn't really have a full experience of the place. But based on what we experienced, it...
