I saw two guys shooting in one of the fields with a parking lot coming back from the doctors today. They had a range up there up to i think five years ago.

I used to shoot there where now is a Parking lot for the zoo.
now is almost impossible due the amount of cars parked there, I didn't go to shoot there these last two years. Last time I went it was at 6 am where it was empty.
I remember also, those weird looks from people around (joggers, hikers), like if I was doing something illegal or wrong. I assume it would be easier in winter.
As far I know is still a "public range" but I would call again, probably things changed due the need for more parking lot and space for festivals.

I would say yes. I would go there to shoot.
The only thing that changed is 6 years ago was much better, not crowded and easy to do things.
After the regatta park and zoo expansion and festivals place is crowded. And apparently a lot of people doesn't know that place is a real public archery range. Go early or late. Good luck
