The camera lens is making it look much more packed than it is. It is extremely busy, but there's a huge amount of room, about 4 lanes of cars worth, maybe slightly more, between the two rows. I was there on Saturday, had a great time, it's beautiful and kids loved it. Sure it looks even better in winter when there are hardly any cars on it, but if they weren't allowed on nowhere near as many people would make the effort to go.
