DrVersace· 3 months agoAnother park that deserves 13 thumbs up! Parks of these days are made out of New Age materials that don’t seem to splinter or rot. Every park these days has one of these merry-go-round built into the ground, I imagine these have been endurance tested, and are lawyer safe. These little merry grounds are pretty fun for adults, kids find them to be enjoyable as well. Parks these days are so darn interactive. I have to say.
Denvir Steele· 3 months agoThis is an amazing playground for kids! A must go! The equipment is so fun, my kids would’ve played for hours if they could’ve. Plus it’s right on the water, great views and there’s a public restroom nearby as well.
Des Downfall· 2 months agoWe LOVE this place, it's s so perfect for little ones. The playground is recently renovated and so big and perfect for all ages. Its also very handicap accessible- everyone is included in playtime here. The beach is also perfect for children as the water is almost always calm and shallow with posted signs to notify motorized vessels this is a swimming area only. My only concern being the sand is kind of dirty?- fishing hooks and line, garbage here and there, and theres ants hidden in spots.
Ron Thompson· 2 months agoIf you can find a parking spot, it's a pretty good park. The water isn't clear like the beach, but there's no undertow to worry about. Beach access is small and lots of people docking jet skis. Playground is large and well maintained. Picnic areas are like the parking. Good if it's not crowded when you go. Recommend going off hours if possible.
Salty Lens Photo· 2 years agoWe really like this park for the little ones and the beach is a few steps away. They have an area for little ones and another separated area for bigger kids which is nice. The bigger kids side is still pretty safe for little ones. There is a restroom close by, and an outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach. There is a lot of shaded picnic tables by the beach, or there is always the option of sitting under the palm trees. I gave it 4 starts instead of five, because the kids playground is not shaded and it’s super hot. If you visit during the Summer, I would recommend doing the park no later than 10am.
