Great place for pickleball and to go fishing. They also have a good dog park from what I've seen. They do have a nice playground for kids as well.

Nice recreation park, several tennis courts, playground, basketball courts, open green space , dog park nicely shaded, one large dog, one small dog. Almost 3.5 miles of shell trail that loops around to the Bay. Great spots for fishing with 2 short piers. Bathrooms are in fair shape. Toilet paper and soap were available.

Back in the day, people really only went to this park to buy drugs... It's really wonderful to see it so full of activity now. The dog park is great. The shade of the tropical hibiscus tree in the dog park keeps it cool even in August. Great fishing spots. Lots of pickle ball action. Fun the whole family!

Many amenities have been added over the years, and this has become a full featured park. Field sports, basketball, pickleball, dog park, picnic tables, playground, and even restrooms.

The dog park is awesome! There are many shaded places to sit and it’s large enough to toss a ball to your pup. Beautiful view of the water as well.
