New renovations are lovely. Parking and access easy for anyone.
If you happen to be near the Oakwood Plaza on a hot summer day, and you really want to swim, I suggest you give Woods Lake Beach Park a try.
I really like Woods Lake Park. The moderate-sized lake has a temperature like a bathtub during hot summer days, and it is open to the public when the gates are open in the parking area on Oakland Drive. Even parents with babies frequent this lake.
I noticed that Woods Lake Beach Park has new restrooms, drinking fountains, sidewalks, and a wooden dock for hanging out. You have to bring your own grill if you want to have a barbecue.
Too small, no places to sit along the lake, and crowded within seconds. You are on top of other people and it gets loud.
This lake is occasionally closed to swimming due top surface runoff and bacteria but it's tested daily for safety. Great place to catch rays ☉
Lovely peaceful lake, scenic but serenity ruined by small close quarters.
If you have little kids you can wear them out on the bazillion stairs to the beach. Small park but nice to have something local.
About 100 or 200 feet away from the public beach area, you can see aquatic vegetation and water birds. It is very entertaining.
Earmuffs for the children and watch for garbage and cigarette butts. It is a very clean (lake weed) lake and it has a playground. Good for a free swimming beach.
The beach is pretty sandy, and there's only a little bit of gravel here and there. When you go out to the lake far enough, you have to be careful, because there's a sudden drop in depth. But I think that is pretty cool if people want to practice swimming underwater.
