Very chill spot, it was hot, but still very worth it. There were water faucets every 2-3 spaces which helped. Bathrooms were clean. Night time looks super dope. If your alone and don't like that, it could be very boring. But that's the point is to be at peace. The fire pit was clutch and so was the grill. Definitely will be back.
