It’s pretty no-frills, but honestly that’s part of the appeal — a big open grass field next to Lake Forbes where you can just let the kids run without worrying about them disappearing into equipment or crowds. The lake views make it feel like more than just a patch of grass, and it’s worth combining with a walk along the water while you’re there. Wheelchair access is solid, so it works well for families who need that. Pack a picnic and don’t expect much beyond open space — but sometimes that’s exactly what you’re after.
