Lovely view of the lake when you wake up, peaceful, only a few runners in the morning.
Quite a few spaces to park up. Toilets were good, just no toilet seat so squatting is advised

Free parking site with a great view at the lake.
Can be noisy at night since cars and a lot of joggers pass next to you parking. Public toilets are not really clean and the flushing is really weak so its hard to leave a clean toilet for the next person. I wouldnt recommend sitting on toilets because they are just metal with no lid.

Good spot with lots of space.
Toilets were clean and actually smelled really good, open all night. There's a lovely walking path close where you can see different birds. The only downside was so much wind. Not sure if it just happened to be windy the night we stayed there or if it's always like that but we're talking shake the van wind.
