Benjamin Turner @benjaminturner.me · 12/12/2025Agree with the suggested improvements, but a "dead" space has not been my experience over the past 10+ years. The water activities are great with the boat launch + beach, the ice cream boat, rentals/tours/boat-building at the center for wooden boats, etc. 000
Benjamin Turner @benjaminturner.me · 12/12/2025The kayak/paddle board launch is always busy in the summer and there are often big events in the park. The mentioned improvements would be nice but I think some of the criticism exaggerated. We'd always run down there year-round when living in Eastlake and we have lots of picnics on the dock today 100
