Ok, being from Florida I certainly didn't come here for the beach but I could imagine this place being packed in the summer as it has a very small "beach" front. Today though, the weather was great so I brought some food from V's down the street and had a little lunch on the water. After, I walked around on the trails. Nice park but small. If there are any amount of people here I could see it being very packed. In terms of cleanliness, wow, I didn't see a piece of trash on the ground anywhere and even the restrooms were very clean.
Have lunch here, have a run or just relax. Enjoy!
