First and only visit to the whitnall beer garden, but I will definitely go back if I have the chance. First, in case you're thinking of going in 2022, please be aware that they are closed early for the season in order to do some construction of more parking spaces among perhaps other improvements, not exactly sure. The important point is that it's no longer open in 2022. :-( The good news is that it will probably be back better than ever. It's a great area of the park. In addition to the pavilion at the beer garden, the immediate area has a large " green" area with picnic tables to enjoy either sun or shade (enough trees to share). There is a kids playground. Enough room for dogs to enjoy some space. We (and a couple other groups) set up and played Cornhole. We also brought out own grill for cooking dinner.

They have a ice cream cart, but they were all out.
Next time we might stop and Culvers and come here...

Everyone at the bar was wearing a mask and most were wearing gloves. Nearly nobody in line, however, was wearing a mask, and people were not respecting the "one person at time" bathroom rule, clearly posted. Additionally, Only ONE staff member at Gift of Wings was wearing a mask. Two others had masks, but they were under their chins (?), and one member didn't have one visible. That was really disappointing. Getting beer and sitting at a table, however, felt...
