Highlights:
- It's a compact park in a great neighborhood with beach weather.
- I loved the covered picnic areas and small turtles, play vehicles, and ride-on animals.
- The main play structure is tall, but well-protected as long as your kids don't climb outside the barriers.
- There's a smaller structure for younger kids.
- Bumpy slides, tunnel slides, climbers, and sea-themed interpretive panels.
- 2 baby swings and 4 bench swings.
- Covered and shaded picnic area
