This park has a historical fort that dates back to the Revolutionary and Civil War periods. The fort is only open on weekends, but the free/donation requested military museum is open every afternoon. The museum is crammed full of stuff, including tons of photos and artifacts from local veterans. Might even be a good place to do a bit of genealogical research. My only complaint is that the museum could be better curated, with some posters or plaques explaining the meaning of the collected items, and maybe some info about the various wars and military branches.

In addition to the historical site, there's a decent-sized playground, a food stand with tons of seating, and a small beach with lots of parking. The beach has smooth sand and shallow water going far out. Our son had fun catching hermit crabs. We didn't stay long, as the beach isn't big enough for a full-day trip. Other than some ladies casually discussing their meth-smoking habits, we weren't troubled with the sketchy people some reviewers complained of. Overall, a solid place to spend a summer afternoon.
