Description
Pack your picnic basket – bring your day's eats and something to share. They will provide cups, plates, napkins, forks and spoons. They will also provide a propane grill complete with FREE hot dogs and all the trimmings. And, yes, you may grill anything you wish – veggies, steaks, chicken or whatever. You may want to bring musical instruments, lawn games, table games, a lawn chair, bug repellent, a jacket or umbrella if it looks like rain (though they have a large pavilion). Very near their pavilion is a handicapped accessible restroom. The park has a Disk Golf Course near their site and they have two sets of disks for your use. Don't forget the kids as there is a super play area at theit site. Plan to stay into the evening -- they'll have plenty of daylight. Join them rain or shine.
