We went there the 4th of July and the park guards there were very racist, they were really rude to us and to other people there, and they were yelling the whole time. They were checking peoples bags and coolers inside of the beach area and just so you know there is no music allowed at all. When we were going out they had a checkpoint inside of the park checking for driver’s license just to the people they wanted...
