GPPPP...(Garry Point Park Plug Pulled )
I went out for the first time to buggy today at Garry Point park but there was no wind.
The good news is the Plug on the lake has been pulled.
A few more weeks of dry(ish) weather and it may be good to go.
Here is a picture from my quadcopter.
Cheers all.

Can you get a pic of the plug or how they drained it? Why did they keep water in it in the first place?
Your riding area looks a lot like mine(water/shoreline, sailboats, flat grass, similar shape, paved trail on the edges). Do they keep it mowed short
and is it smooth?

As far as I know, Its not a plug but rather a valve that they turn to let water in or out.
The water is let in in the early winter in hopes that it will freeze and people can ice skate and is drained in the spring.
They keep the grass mowed maybe twice a year.

Yes! Thanks for the update. Hopefully this week of sun will help dry it out.
