Outstanding Park! It has everything you would need. Big green soft grassy oval, covered seating area, seating area near playground, BBQ facilities, an amazing robot toilet, a water fountain, an electrical plug, play equipment for the kids big and small, slides, trampolines, wooden obstacle course, exercise machine and it's right next to the marina that you can even bring fishing gear and catch crabs and fish!
