The park does a great job organizing time slots so the hill doesn't get too busy. Multiple lanes to sled from and the conveyer belt saves so much time and energy of exhausting yourself just on the trip up. The track is fun for racing and group tubing for all ages. Highly recommend for a fun day outing!

Many people just spread out on the grass which was fine. Maybe that's why there wasn't as much goose poop as other beaches I've visited lately... The water has a mostly sandy bottom with some pebbles and such but I didn't really feel any seaweed which was good. There's a roped off swimming area that is very large. The lake itself was packed with boats and jet skis. The playground was awesome and a bit different than the typical structure. We didn't utilize the back track but it looked cute! There's a bar on the other side of the street that was playing live music and we could hear it from the playground easily. The new bathrooms are nice. There's also a concession stand - I think the hot dogs were $2 or $3, they had nachos and other basic beach snacks but we didn't get anything.

In Jan/Feb they have frequent 'starlight snowshoe' events from 6PM-9PM where you can do the trails in the dark lit by moonlight and well-placed garden lanterns. It's a great event for families. Snowshoe rental is super easy and VERY inexpensive (less than 5.00 I think?) and they also rent XC skis although I don't know the cost.

It's a neighborhood park that's got some parts that are a bit rundown (basketball court is grass with mouldering hoops, and there's a decrepit baseball diamond.) There are also some very nice improvements, such as a playground. There are plans to add a kayak launch in the future, which is a great idea, as this park runs along Grand River. There's also an area that they're allowing to become naturalized, with some hiking trails winding through. Altogether this is a great neighborhood park, but not really a destination park yet.
