It is located in the upper picnic area, is wheelchair accessible, and includes four grills, electricity, running water, restrooms nearby with flush toilets and sinks and picnic tables that can accommodate up to 80 guests. YES... your children are welcome!! A new playground was installed in 2003. It is rated for five to 12 year olds, although there are also two toddler swings. The playground is located in the day-use area (upper parking lot) where the first loop joins the main park road. In addition to the toddler swings, there are two other swings, two slides, platforms, a tunnel, an arch climber and a horizontal ladder. Since the majority of the crowd will be on different food schedules, it's BOYF (Bring Your Own Food). Those who would like to are certainly more than welcome to bring WLS friendly dishes (sides, desserts, etc). There will be plenty to share. You are also encouraged to bring any "portable" games (washers, horseshoes, cards, etc) that you are willing to share.
