“This is one of the few parks my family truly loves to visit. It offers plenty of parking, making it convenient, and its location near the city means we don’t have to travel far. The open spaces, well-maintained facilities, and relaxing atmosphere make it a great spot for family outings and birthday celebrations.”

“The signs aren't very clear about where the spots are. Best plan is to drive around all the parking areas alongside the beach, and along the back of the park, and look for the blue striped, painted parking areas for self-contained freedom parking spots. They are dotted around the park, some are single vehicle spaces. Lovely views of beach and park. Big areas to walk the dog. No hassles, stayed midweek.”
