It's open to the public. Plus, the best part is for parents, it's a fenced area so kids won't wander off to streets or areas they shouldn't be in. It's in a historical neighborhood of Montgomery and there are several local independent businesses nearby like Cafe Louisa, Tomatinos, El Rey, Leroys, etc. Grab a nice lunch from there and enjoy a beautiful day here. The only downside is that, there are no public restrooms but I am not sure if the church has them or not. Thus, one star deduction for now but a totally safe place for kids to explore.

The water pressure was so low on the pump that you prob still want to bring your own water. The standard dual fence system was here but the bars on the fence were juuussttttt too far apart and our ball kept bouncing through and getting out of the park. Would return. 3.5 stars.

The gentleman that answered the phone said there was space and told us to try to be there before dark. We arrived at 6:30pm, which was after dark, and were told we couldn't camp because he had locked the gate. It would have been helpful if he had told me on the phone not to bother coming if we were going to be there 30 minutes after dark instead of saying "try to be here before dark". We are now in a hotel in Montgomery. Thanks a lot.

Jackson Lake Island is amazing, especially if you are a fan of Tim Burton's Big Fish…read more You enter through a gate, and there is an entire process for paying and then obtaining the gate code. Luckily, we paid, and were then calling the phone number to get the code, when someone who was camping pulled up behind us and put the code in for us. The small road bridge leading from the main land to the island was a little scary for me. Good thing there wasn't a car coming the other way, or I would have freaked out even more. This land is wonderful. I could see the appeal to kayak, fish, or have a picnic here, or even camp here. We stopped at the bathrooms first, and they are clean and provide running water. On our drive to the town of Spectre, we ran into the goats. We were driving down the road and all of the goats were coming at us. We put the car in park and enjoyed the goats. One goat even jumped up on my door to say hello. They are fabulous and very friendly. When we exited the vehicle at the Spectre movie set, a super friendly goat was charging at me, I immediately went into the car and the goat approached my boyfriend. All the goat wanted was some pets. And that's what he got. They are like large dogs. There are swing benches around the lake and it is nice to sit and enjoy the scenery. Watch out for goat poop. That is the only bad thing. The goats keep the island well manicured and provide the best entertainment and are adorable.
