This place is gorgeous and well kept. A little neighborhood gem. I take my dog here for walks all the time. There’s a nice park which my little family has outgrown but is available and decent from the looks of it. There’s a long concrete trail that gives you a nice long walk, run, or ride around the entire space. If you go over the little bridge all the way down on the left you’ll find an area with sand you can walk out on and sit and catch some breeze. There’s benches to sit as well. Overall a pleasant place to just be outdoors.

So peaceful. This is a nice spot to.bring your l I ttle ones and have fun. Maybe a picnic or just enjoy a walk with the dogs. Restrooms are clean and overall is very inviting.

Clean, peaceful park/beach. I went during the day in October, so it wasn't crowded. People were fishing, exercising, and relaxing. Signs posted say no swimming.

Great views of the bay and the bridge, soothing sounds of the waves along the pathway. Stay at dusk to see the moonlight sparkling waters and the lighting from the town. Entrance closed at 8pm.
