A lake with a beach and a playground that's within 10 minutes biking of my house - how have I never been here before!!! The park is very popular with families on warm days, especially as the swimming area of the lake is quite shallow which of course is great for kids. Not so great for adults looking to cool off with a swim - and that is really my only negative point about this lake. It never really gets deeper than your knees in the swimming area so it's mainly just a nice park to come and lie in the sun but if I want to do some actual swimming I'll be going elsewhere. read more
