★★★★Kerry Merritt

This is a public facility that the city owns and runs. It's a rustic looking area, and buildings. It's very nice set up. The main building has the office and a smaller area for public use. There is a second larger be building. It is more rustic then the main building. Both have kitchens for your use. I know that people have really nice events here. Like weddings. I recommend this place, if you're looking.

Had a birthday party for my wife and everything was amazing. The space was more than accommodating for our crowd of 100. The staff here is awesome giving us more help than we were expecting to make sure everything went off without a hitch.

Very nice space for parties, family gatherings or smaller receptions. Lovely landscape with a pretty pond and fire pit. The only negative is parking. The parking spaces are a distance from the actual structures which is a pain when you're dressed up and wearing heels. Otherwise though, great space.

The 2017 All Class John F. Kennedy high school reunion was held at this location. It could be a beautiful location with some updates.

★★★Shelly H

Very nice place. The parking isn't very close to the building the wedding reception was in. The geese like to leave little land mines everywhere making the walk a bit challenging. Other than that it was a nice facility in a very nice setting.
