Pro Tips
- 1.Visit early morning (7:00-9:00 AM) before it gets too hot, especially during summer months when temperatures can soar.
- 2.Bring a picnic blanket, sunscreen, and plenty of water as shade may be limited in some areas and there are great spots for family picnics.
- 3.Note the Saturday closing time (5:00 PM) is earlier than other days, likely due to Shabbat observance, so plan accordingly.
