Really nice location, especially with proximity to the lake. Lots of great space for kids to ride bikes. Biggest improvement would be the bathrooms. With a couple air fresheners and maybe a ventilation fan to bring in fresh air, the smell would be much more tolerable. Could also occasionally add some wood chips or lime to the holding tanks to keep the smell at bay.
