“Had a picnic here with friends. We even brought our dog as the place is dog friendly. Great place with plenty of shaded areas. We brought along our own foldable tables and chairs. There is even a mobile coffee truck selling coffee, cold drinks, muffins and cookies if one forget to bring food/drinks or need a coffee fix. I must say the coffee is good. With summer approaching I think this place will be a hit for weekend families gatherings.”
