About
Locals love this spot for its quiet vibe and family-friendly amenities. The new playground and summer swimming hole are big hits. While most find the $5 fee a total bang for the buck, some feel the gazebo rental prices are way off base. It is a well-kept gem tucked away in the redwoods. Overall, it is a go-to for picnics and birthday parties.
