Insider tips

Bring a portable sunshade or canopy if planning a long picnic, as the most popular tables under mature trees fill up early.

Check the county's official park website before visiting to confirm the seasonal operating dates for the swimming pool.

The park is significantly windier than the surrounding basin areas, so secure any lightweight belongings.

Do not attempt to use the pool facilities during the off-season as they are strictly locked when the lifeguard program is not in session.
