This is a beautiful place to go swimming and spend the day in the picnic area with friends and family. The only think I dislike is this tall male staff making fun of me as I was walking into the office....but I was not going to let an ignorant person ruin the day for my family and I. I enjoyed my day there after all. Management needs to train staff better and make sure their interpersonal skill be reprogram.
