Queen Elizabeth Park

Wife and I went out there today looking for some fun, but don't understand how it's possible. We drove through the entire park and while there are pretty picnic spots and scenery, the park is full of families. There is no way that people can be dogging there as there are too many families and young kids running around. Please someone explain why this location was recommended? I advise to stay away and leave the park for families and children to enjoy.
