Park was beautiful. I reserved Shady Ridge Shelter and will definitely be reserving again. There's plenty of picnic tables, close to a very well maintained restroom and multiple playgrounds.There is an electric outlet at the front of the shelter house and has a grill. It sits further back from the parking lot, feels more private. Great for a family get together.

Every year for the last few years I rent a lovely pavilion for our family reunion same spot shady ridge shelter. Not sure what went wrong this year but is was pavilion was layered with degree all over and under tables and entire walk way of eating ans sitting area. Children could barely play. The grass wasn't even mowed. Not sure what was going on this year but apparently employees had a tent and chairs sat up in the entrance advising patrons was no longer allowed on the premises and the most important is you could unload on grounds and I get that? How about inspecting the rented facilities prior to your guest arrival. Thank you.

Was absolutely perfect for my son’s 1st birthday party. Plenty of space for everyone and everything; great grill location. And bonus points for the park and the walking trail!!
