Where may I set up my picnic/tailgate?
We do have a couple picnic tables that may be used. Because we have limited yard and parking lot space, picnicking/tailgate activities is discouraged. Weekday visitors may use the weekend parking field, but must carry out their own trash, since we do not have the facilities to store excess trash and we do not want the yellow jacket population to build up.
