The are was cleaned. I just wish the restroom were opened. When you have senior citizen that have to go to the restroom. But everything was great.

PARK WAS TRASHY/DISGUSTING!! Totally DISAPPOINTED
Popularity: Very quiet
Busiest in August, when about 5% of guest capacity is reserved. Based on 2 years of reservations.
