User reviews
"An outstanding spot for your children to frolic around and have a blast. Although the water may be chilly, it tends to warm up as August approaches, particularly if you visit in the late afternoon. However, bear in mind that you will be required to pay for parking, and the fee ranges from $15 to $20, depending on your parking spot."
