I sure hope you clean Castle Park. Very fun down. Rides don’t work. Very dirty.
I agree the miniature golf area could be cleaned and updated with new lighting needs a facelift on a lot of the attractions there light bulbs are missing throughout the whole entire park I’ve been going there for over 15 years and I love the place so do my children but it still looks the same as it did when I was a kid I’m 43 now so to keep people coming back things have to change better prices better hours and more fun things to do there
