What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors appreciate the dedicated pet park with its swimming area and the peaceful nature trail. However, some find the facilities, particularly parking and restrooms, to be disappointing and lacking maintenance, especially during events. +1
"A place for humans to relieve themselves and water. Aerated water for the ponds would be nice. Some landscaping. BREC always complains they don't have the money which I know for a fact isn't true. Pathetic."

"Great experience just bring sunscreen. There is not much shade and no place to sit. So bring your own chair."
