“Nice little park near the beach with a playground. We had a picnic here just on the grass but there is a picnic table too. Was great as we were able to watch the kids on the playground and as it’s a cul de sac it’s quite safe with not much traffic. The playground is on sand so be prepared to carry that home with you! But near the beach so was actually quite nice 😊 no sun shade though so be mindful of that during the day in summer. Quite a lot of angle parking too which is good! Nice, relaxing spot”
