I love this place, people are always friendly! Love playing mini golf with kids, the snack shack food is prepared to order so it's fresh! Like to watch the barges on the river, just so peaceful and kids love to play in the playground. Great place to picnic with clean tables, bathrooms and grounds. Plenty of trees for shade too
