    I grew up near the park and have fond memories of the best of times with family and friends. Years ago, my siblings and I contributed to wearing out the equipment at the playground near the Tea Room, and our family always found a nearby table and grill for cookouts. To this day, the smell of Coppertone brings back memories of fun at the lake. Today, I visit whenever I can and encourage others to do the same. A lot has changed, but the beauty of the place and the value of spending time in the park is constant.
