Father's Day Cottonwood Cruise & Picnic -June 13
 

ACE Group
The 11th Anniversary of the annual Father's Day Cruse and Picnic is again scheduled for a wonderful drive to Cottonwood.Last year some of us stopped around the corner and grabbed a cold beer at THAT brewery. I think I'll do this again this year as well! :cheers
This is the weekend before Father's Day so everyone can still celebrate the holiday with family.
The picnic destination in Cottonwood's Garrison Park has plenty of picnic bench seating under a huge ramada, and additional shade trees for those that want a true blanket picnic.
You are required to bring your own sack lunch for a picnic.
There's one medium sized ramada with 6 picnic tables, a nearby restroom, and a playground.
There is limited parking next to the ramada, but plenty of spaces, just a short distance, SE of the ramada and playground.
