It really stunk that it rained the entire day but we enjoyed our party anyways. We celebrated our daughter's college graduation in spite of the rain. It's a nice clean picnicking area and the pavilion kept us nice and dry.

They didn’t even post a sign to reserve the spot that I paid for even though the posted sign reads “if there’s no reserve sign the space is available”
