Re: [GSAS-board] Picnic

Typically the majority of tables/canopies and picnic areas are up top
near grass, play areas, etc. and there is a paved trail going down to
the water & dock area. Can't remember any picnic tables down there, but
there may be. This is a very popular park and I'm afraid it would be
difficult to just commandeer two tables without being there pretty darn
early.
