We are very used to the playground shelter area. Shelter number two was too small, too dark, and the picnic tables are horrible. Really need some upgrading done. Can’t understand why there’s electricity and no lights. It gets dark back there. Hopefully, we will never have to rent this one again.

It was a monsoon rain when we arrived and had to wait an hour in our cars. However the rain stopped and we were able to enjoy the day. There was sooo much water around the shelter it was impossible to get to the shelter without soaking your feet! Drains must have stopped up since everything stayed soppy the entire day!

The location of the playground and toilet facilities was excellent. The children were able to have a great time and still be close to the adults.

We have a Patrick family reunion every 4th of July. For the last 30 years or so it's been at Grandview. Always been a great experience, fun for all.
