The woman who answers phones is unnecessarily rude. Her name is Denise. I simply asked her if there was a way for them to let me know if any of the reservations didn’t get filled. She told me the wait was a year. She wouldn’t let me do that and said the only way for me to know would be to come in. I can’t possibly walk into the park every day to see if there’s reservations available. Terrible way to do business. I’ve lived in this town for twenty years and her being rude was unnecessary. She needs to be fired. ASAP.
