Three Oaks Recreation Area – Grand Opening

Posted on October 3, 2010 by genuine240

I attended the dedication ceremony of Crystal Lake’s new park Three Oaks Recreation Area. The 462 acre recreation area opened at 6:30AM on October 1, 2010.

After photographing the ceremony I spent a few hours exploring and taking photos around the site.

City Council members join in unveiling the bronze dedication plaque.

On the west end of the Lake House is a nice zero-depth splashpark.

Three visitors return from a canoe adventure.

Fishermen lined up around the shore lines and on the bridges, hoping to catch the big-one!

The 2,000 sq. ft. picnic pavilion has two large BBQ grills located on a concrete patio, behind the fireplace.

Calm waters and the setting sun create a stunning reflection of the Lake House.

As the sun sets, it brings grand opening day to a close.
