    The "beach" area is pathetic. Took my family and small kids. First thing I noticed right off the…read morebat was broken glass in multiple areas of the beach. Do not walk barefoot in the sand unless you enjoy getting your feet sliced up and a bank breaking hospital bill. I had rubber flip flops on the whole time and told my family to wear theirs. Then, the whole beach area isn't open?? They cordoned off most of the water area, except for one sandbar and maybe 75 feet of water across from the entry sand area to the back area on the other side which narrowed to like 40 feet. The exposed sandbar which you were allowed to walk on had what looked like goose droppings all over it. There is very little space to play or wade without bumping into someone with it being cordoned off, and the section of water that is open just looks like a big bowl of muddy water because the cordoned off area is far away from the waterfall and streams that it doesn't get as much movement aside from people. Between the droppings all over the sandbar, broken glass, close proximity of multiple people in that tiny area, it's just asking for a visit to the hospital due to some infection. You do have to pay a fee per person and idk where that money goes, needs more maintenance. It's a shame, the beach area has potential. We will not be going back.

    The lake view was amazingly beautiful. From any angle of the four corners of the lake, you'll get a…read morenice view. The Asian Garden was underwhelming. I guess the significant other and I expected more Asian art or shrubberies. This would have been a cute picturesque spot for our engagement shoot but the trees overhead provided too much shade for an early evening shoot. The Rose Garden was unique with its white columns and statues. It wasn't an expansive garden, but it was nice as it was situated in a sunlit area. The park also had a miniature railroad track along with its own town. It looked like toys for the children to interact with. There was a fence around the area so I guess it's only open during certain times. The children's maze seemed fun and interesting... I am unsure of its depth though as we only took a peek inside. The hedge was about 5 feet tall as I could sort of peek over the hedge. There seemed to be another area that might have had walking trails other than just the immediate areas as you enter the park grounds. Plenty of parking to be found as this isn't a popular park. It's clean and nice for sure! There was plenty of nooks and crannies to explore though.

I remember my first visit to the park many, many years ago. The lovely lake and bridges, pavilions, themed botanical gardens, the statues throughout the park, the paved walking trails and the entertaining Vines Garden miniature railroad which has over 1,000 feet of track and runs through a little train town. Although all those things still exist, the park is no longer well manicured and has lost some of the natural beauty I remember it once held. There is a lot of overgrowth of the bushes and trees and the weeds are taking over. It is still a nice and serene little park to visit with very few visitors, but no longer one that I'd make a trip to enjoy its beauty.
