VISITORS CENTER/CLUBHOUSE
The visitor's center is very nice with guides and maneuverable space. 

Note that the electronic door was broken as of mid-August 2025, but there are guides staffing the center during park hours who could assist with the doors.

PICNIC SHELTER/ SEATING AREAS
There are accessible tables, however they are near the bathrooms which, during the hotter days in summer, did not smell pleasant. 

All of the other picnic tables are on the grass and may be difficult to traverse in a wheelchair.
