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
• Lots of benches surrounding the whole play area
