VDP 1st Annual Picnic in the Park
August 20, 2011

For those who have never been to Brushy Creek Lake Park we took some pictures to show what's available. These pictures show only Brushy Creek Lake Park, the trail system connects it to several other parks.

The large pavilions. Ours is the Cedar Pavilion on the left.

Looking out from the pavilion to the large parking lot and the playscape. The slide has a large crack in it that hopefully will be fixed by August.

The sand volleyball court.

Looking from the water playscape back across to the pavilion.

Bocce courts

The kayak rental and parking area (ideally for kayak/canoe loading/unloading)

Path down to the kayak/canoe launch

Kayaks waiting for someone to enjoy them

Off they go!

The mermaid rock

Looking back up the lake. There is a young family coming back in.

Path down to the water.

Looking across the open play field from the boat launch. What you can't see are the kids running across the field. This would be a perfect area for flying a kite!

Looking back towards the sand volleyball and pavilions from the water.

The fishing pier

The path from our pavilion leading down to the fishing pier.

Looking back towards the small parking lot from the fishing pier and our pavilion

The shaded area that was very popular with families out fishing. There were some tables and benches.

Looking back towards our pavilion from the other end of the open play field

The labyrinth and looking out at the lake from the head of the labyrinth trail.

The parking lots. FYI the police officers were stopping by a child's birthday party.

The bike trails around the park are excellent and very easy to ride. See the map above for their layout.

We hope that you will be joining us in the 1st Annual VDP Picnic!
