Things to Keep in Mind When Visiting ⚠️
A few heads up for your visit: the park doesn’t have lighting for evening visits, so it’s best to head there during daylight hours for safety. Some reviews mention the BBQ hasn’t been working for a long time, so it’s worth checking before planning a cook-up. Also, the open nature means it can get quite windy, so pack accordingly. Despite these minor hiccups, it’s a safe and pleasant spot for a daytime family outing.
