There is space to picnic nearby in the large pavilion. Highlights : The man-made swimming pond features a lovely sand beach and filtered, chlorinated water.

Understanding the characteristics of each Como Lake subwatershed is important for managing runoff to Como Lake because each behave differently depending on their land use, topography, soil types, and drainage pathways to the lake.
An important characteristic of the Como subwatersheds is that the drainage pathways are conveyed primarily via storm sewers—the Como Lake watershed has a dense storm sewer network that effectively transports runoff to the lake.
