This one star review reflects the new policy of having to have a weekend reservation pass in order to enter the park.
The issue I have with this new policy is unless you locally visit this park regularly, you wouldn’t know that this is the only way to enter the lot, until you arrive.
I’m OK with paying the $30 a year for parking pass (which I have) However, what I’m not OK with is how the website has the information about getting the parking reservation for the weekend pass hidden out of plain sight. It’s hidden within a drop down menu titled “how to get a reservation pass”. That’s only good for folks that already knew this.
It’s terrible for those who have found out the hard way such as myself, and for other people who were used to going to this park where you just show your yearly pass or pay the six dollar daily fee to the guard house to enter. Obviously it’s more frustrating when you think about what it’s doing to all the people showing up like we did today with your family with all your beach gear, food and a packed cooler and then to be turned away because they haven’t informed everybody obviously how this new policy works. It wasn’t just me today but also the 50 other people that the ranger said he turned away. This one star review could be a five star review if they change the website to have big bold letters saying attention all weekend beachgoers you must now reserve a free pass to enter.
This isn’t a gripe about having to have a pass. It’s about the way y’all inform people of the new policy. Let’s do better.
A suggestion would be under weekend hours for Triton Beach put the hours and then say only reservation pass holders allowed. And as soon as the search page comes up for their website, it should have more upfront information about this and not have to be found under drop-down menus or pages you have...
Read morenice.. but. we went here because they were 'dog friendly', they even gave us a dog biscuit at the gate. however, there are no signs whatsoever about what areas are actually 'dog friendly', and where dogs might actually 'be allowed'. there were no signs related to having a dog in the park.. we picked the first beach (because no dog signs) and were later told the dog was not allowed there. the explanation was not clear, so we just packed up and left the park entirely. I would have thought they'd explain any dog restrictions at the gate, but figured they must not have needed to because they must have signs (since supposedly 'dog friendly'), but nothing. not going back. our boy had fun, he was able to walk a ways out and kids and adults were out far because it was so shallow.. maybe bring kids, but not any dogs? seemed a little contrary to their website, which got us all the way out here in...
Read moreThis location has undergone a significant upgrade since last year, making it an ideal spot for a family day out. They’ve added restrooms, changing rooms, small playground, garden fairy, and an outdoor rinse-off area, which are great amenities for families. The parking lots have also improved, providing more space for visitors. Yes, there is a fee for parking.
You can enjoy fishing, explore various hiking trails, and relax on the beautiful beach. While there are no grills on the premises, you can bring your own food. However, please remember to leave no trash behind.
One suggestion for improvement would be to add a wheelchair-accessible trail and one for the beach. These additions would make the park even more inclusive and enjoyable for a wider range...
