This is a great family park.
Everyone had their own space on the beach, there is some shade, picnic tables and seats available, canteen and clean washrooms.
You can rent kayaks and canoes.
Swimming area is roped off and it's not too deep, so kids can be having fun while remaining safe.
It is a lake, so there are leeches and minnows - which the kids loved to try and catch, so bring a bucket!
We live roughly 30 mins away, so we stayed hours and my kids were not disappointed!
Freezies were only $1 for the jumbo ones (bonus!)
Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy:)
The ONLY downside I keep having with this being a "family" park is parents letting their small (and older) children go naked here. I think there should be something said when children are running around with no clothes on. Yesterday a (female) child approx 10 to 12 had come out to talk to their family member from the changing room - naked on the beach. Meanwhile the same family allowed a female child approx 2/3 to run bottomless all around the swimming area. I had my two boys there aged 8 and 12 and I don't feel that this is appropriate behavior for a public park.
This is the third time we've encountered families allowing children to go naked while we have been there and my children ask questions about it. Please stop letting your children go naked in public spaces.
