This has to have one of the smallest viso parks I've ever seen. The out door area has 2 times the seating as in doors. They have the old McDonalds type seating you know the kind with a table in the middle and four seats that come out of the bottom of the table, like stools. You can't sit next to each other until you go outside. One of each of the "stools" is painted black, and that's where the inmate has to sit while inside. There are a few metal benchs inside as well, that you can sit on when the tables are full. I belive there's like 18 tables, so if your coming in later in the day, you'll be outside or on the metal benchs... they do have a couple murals (sea life) one indoor and one out, for picture taking..
