It’s a lovely day, and a lovely park.

Best outdoor range! Access to the range is free (there is a parking fee). The targets are a bit old and need replacing. The canopy is nice to allow you to shoot in most weather conditions. It gets crowded on weekends. There is construction nearby so the parking lot is very small and limited. No wifi is provided but cell signal strength is good. A water fountain is close by as well as public restrooms.
