EDIT 2026: just went back. They're still a porta potty and disc golf has been neglected. It is completely overgrow. I believe the password view was in 2020 --- Pretty nice and neat. Disc golf is good. Mainly switchbacks. But still fun. There are some jerks that left there trash but that's not the places fault. Bathrooms were "out of order" but they had a porta potty, which was nice
