There is a large grassy area for games. A large picnic shelter, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's, is available for protection from a sudden shower. The shelter has tables and a fireplace for when the weather turns chilly. Please be sure that all fires, whether in grills, fire rings, or the picnic shelter, are dead out before leaving. Please review these campfire safety tips from Smokey Bear.
