You used to be able to take your children here to play, in nature. There were benches. Today, all the seating has been removed, and there's a fence all around. Nothing has happened here for decades, and suddenly there's a fence and a "Drowning Danger" sign. Ridiculous.

The circular path around the Twistesee is pleasant to walk. A café near the playground invites you to stop for a break
