Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews

July 17 nice park, bad crowd... by Disappointed Mass resident

the park offers swimming, boating, fishing, and hiking. Should be the ideal family spot on a hot summer day. Unfortunately, we saw public drinking, lewd behavior and even inappopriate treatment of a dog taking place. There seem to be very little oversight by park officials, and I even had to call 911 to get help for an injured bicyclist that appeared intoxicated. My husband and I (attending with 7 kids ages 9-14)left the park disappointed at best, but actually quite upset. This is a beautiful venue in need of crowd control and enforcement of park policies and rules. We will not re-visit any time soon
