Water was dirty, needs to be clean. Not enough water as well. No places to put strollers or other kids stuff. Parents are standing and holding all stuff but themselves. very uncomfortable.

Great spot to hang out with the kids in the shade on a hot summer day. There is also a farmers market for healthy snacks some days

Free; perfect for families with young children of different ages… even as an adult I enjoyed dipping my feet in the cool clean water on a hot day with a 7 yo. Infant to adult in my opinion.
