There for my first time for a Cub Scout fishing derby grandsons. Only saw the fishing lake, but it was fine for the purpose, level bank all the way around with a concrete rim, thick cattails along part of the shoreline, good for catching off-target casts. Lots of birds in the reeds. Most of us weren’t catching anything, the more skilled said they were catching some 4 or 5 inch bluegill. There’s a pretty aeration fountain in the middle. Picnic tables at a few spots, plus a few benches, small trees for shade a bit back from the water. Pond weed in some places catching on hooks (the entire bank was full of scouts, so couldn’t be choosy.
We parked in a solar-panel-shaded lot very close to the lake. Not sure if there’s a charge for parking at other times, but we were told it was free for the event.
Only limitation was no close restrooms, we were directed to some port-a-potties at the soccer fields across the street, bit of a hike from the other side of the lake.

We saw Judy Collins from row PP (5 rows from the top.) She sounded wonderful, acoustics and amplification seemed great, but binoculars were needed to see her face. The theater is beautifully vintage, quite a hike to the top with no landings or handrails. We didn’t bother repeating the hike at intermission. Seating is comfortable and fairly roomy. We were perfectly centered, but next time we’ll try to sit closer to the stage even if we have to be off to one side. I don’t think there’s anywhere with a bad line of sight. Never been for a movie, don’t know how big a screen is used.
