The lone table at the Ballard Creek Picnic Area

I don’t know how the Ballard Creek Picnic Area got the designation of “picnic area” because there is only one picnic table here and no grill. Oddly enough, there is a parking lot large enough to hold a dozen cars. If a bunch of people show up I guess they can have a shoot out over who gets the table. The area isn’t very large, so you’d be hard pressed to fit a couple more tables even if you had them.
