It was the hottest day ever, which isn't their fault. While everything is overpriced like most vendors, it is a nice big and open outdoor venue and parking was fairly easy (though a bit of a walk). Layout allowed for the lead singer of Weezer to literally climb around the whole venue's fences which was fun to watch. Stage when... More

Take the family for a day and rent an electric boat, a paddle boat, sail boat...sit and relax stare at the water, have a picnic, enjoy the water park in the summer, catch some rays. Concerts in the park from time to time. Just a unique venue for fun days anytime alone or with the family!
