*My review is based on just this experience and not with the rest of the park. I had inquired about having my wedding here at the pergola and shelter 2/pavilion. The pergola is over grown with weeds, the pavilion has algae growth, graffiti, and tables that are so incredibly rotted through, I'm amazed that they are still standing. With a price tag of $400 I figured they would clean up the place a bit but when I inquired about this, the woman told me they would be doing NOTHING and that the tables could be stacked up in the corner of the pavilion.

Came here to geocache a month ago and this place just feels... Off
4/6 of the basketball hoops have had the hoop part removed, buildings that appear in rough shape, hiking trails that bring you to one parking lot to another.

Ps; There was a guy who kept hanging around somewhere I stopped to look around for a geocache and was watching me....

I don't suggest riding it unless your a pro-rider. not much for views sady their is a nice bench chair further up but more...
