The sad thing is the park level is 14 feet above the surrounding ground level, water should be flowing like Niagara out of the place. I can only imagine what the utilidor entrance looked like.
Yes you can just walk up to the front gate, but you still have to park in the main lot and walk around the lagoon via Poly, GF, over the new canal bridge and on to the front gate, its about 1mile+, 20-30 min.
