Spot Details
Description:
250 acres of public wide open grass fields with flat to slightly rolling terrain.
Great spot for beginners with training kites. Usually several kiters there to lend a hand if needed.
Parking:
Several parking lots at the location. Can also park on side streets if needed.
Food:
North on Harwood you have pretty much everything from Burger Joints to Sushi. I like Subway.
**CAUTION**
On several occasions people tend to cut across the fields while kiters are flying and on buggies..
They also might come up behind you to ask about the sport Gives your heart a good workout..
