Reviews
"Good for daily walking/outing. Close to my friends home."
"LC includes a playground with many features to climb on, perfect for all children. The basketball court is super convenient too. My favourite part is the path along the lake. It’s super scenic, almost like another state similar to a national park. The fishing dock and lake are so beautiful. I would recommend for sunrise/sunset. If you cut through bushes, the path leads to the stunning LC golf course. Walking through that is like a movie it’s so cool and surreal."
"A small but fine trail with a pier. Sadly a lot of litter along the waters edge. Cute nearby park playground was overrun with teens leaving no social distancing and playing loud uncensored music. I get they need a place also but next to the ages 2-5 playset wasn't helpful."
"One of our favorite parks! Playground equipment looks like log cabins for 2-5's, 5-12's, and climbing structures for your "ninja warrior" child. Get out some energy at this fun awesome park right next to a lake and beautiful huge trees! There is a parking lot as well as a large handicap porta potty."
"Beautiful place. A bit short due to temporary trail closing."
