There are choices to walk/jog the trails, barbecue, picnic, fishing, exercising, walk your dog, watch the sun set 😀 , bird watch and even swimming. The staff maintenance is 👍🏾 on point. They keep the grounds clean and safe. Thank you...I clean up after myself and keep enjoying the space.❤️Its worth the visit 💯”
