Problem is- signage isn't very clear on how to get to the parking lot for the park! The directional sign on the road says "Sculpture Park" with a right arrow- and if you make the next turn you are sitting in front of the police station. Which is where we parked and walked down the sidewalk on A1A to get to the park. Turns out- there is a back exit to the parking lot at the police station that goes down a road and dead ends into the parking lot for the park. Who knew?- not this woman! Oh well- the Lakeside Park/Veteran's Memorial/Sculpture Garden park has a large round memorial to all of the service branches- very pleasing to the eye. In the center is the American Flag and the POW flag below it. There is a board walk along the lake- which provides a wonderful view of turtles! I'm sure you could see some birds too- depending on the time of day. The path winds South and is adorned with a variety of sculptures- hence "Sculpture Garden". I think my favorite was the one that looked like a Phoenix- although there were several that caught my eye. Plenty of shade, benches and art! Oh Well- the big sign at the Southwest corner of the park said Lakeside Park, Veteran's Memorial Park.

The building has restrooms, a concession stand for the baseball and football field, a picnic area and a road which winds close to the river and ends in a cul-de-sac. There is a baseball diamond, football field and soccer field. The dog park is on the other side of the fields and has shaded areas with benches for the two-legged park attendees while the four-legged ones get to run about. There is a kayak launch located at a small creek that enters the San Sebastian River, just south of the State Road 16 bridge. A pavilion is located at the entrance to the launching site.

There are a few things worth the trip. One the shuttle bus to and from the festival. The second is the commute to and from my house. Not pictured is the shrimp tandoori. It needed more sauce. The ribs were not the best as per my wife. There were bathrooms and table and chairs around to sit, relax and eat. We are looking forward to next year and know what to expect. Long lines for the food and beverages so have patience. Please, next year have more seafood that is in the title. I was looking forward to more seafood!

We opted for VIPZ which was below the corporate rooftop but offered a prime viewing platform Lots of vendors, food, plenty of bar spaces and extremely responsive medical staff (at least three people needed help) as it was HOT and humid. Free water refill stations were available and stay hydrated messages posted frequently on the jumbo TVs Too long to get in with airport level security and restrictions on almost everything (no chairs, no coolers, no bags over 12x6, no backpacks and so on...) The line for GA admission ran over an hour. That certainly needs to improve for future events.

An update is due because thankfully Treaty Skate Park is now free of admission and the silly…read moreconcession shop gatekeeping system is gone--hopefully for good. Most of the better skate parks around Florida--Bradenton, Gainesville, Daytona and others--are public and free of admission, so Treaty ought to be as well. I'm glad the powers that be finally came to their collective senses on this. Treaty is a good park, it's somewhat unique as it has more rolling inclines and bowl-like features than most skate parks which emulate street skating and street features have. It harkens back to the early days of pool-inspired concrete parks in California in this regard. It has lights and seems to be open until ten on weekends, maybe nine or ten weekdays? Not sure on that, but on a Saturday the lights were on until ten. This skate park is used, too: there are always skaters here when it's open and it's open for BMX as well as skating. Overall, it's not the very best but a pretty rad park and the new policies are certainly an improvement.

As a mom who frequents many a local skate park, Treaty (Robery-Layrn Skate Park may be the official…read morename), is perhaps on the top of my list for a variety of reasons. For those of you who enjoy a good kick flip, here is what the skate park offers: -Huge bowl - looks like an empty swimming pool with 9 foot walls! -A couple of 1 / 2 pipes -Rails to grind -Ledges to drop in -Skaters can do their thing until 10:00 pm every evening! There also is a little area for beginning skaters to practice their budding 'Tony Hawk-ness' as well! You can rent skate equipment in the Pro Shop as well. This is a plus in my book as most of the kids, well maybe it's just MY kid, don't like to bring their own. If you have a skater under 18 they will be required to sign a 'If you break your neck, we are not liable waiver', but in my experience this document is standard for all skate parks of this nature. The only thing to really be aware of is that there really is no covered areas in the actual bowl of the park. So, make sure you slather up your son or daughter with sunscreen and bring some Gatorade as this kind of physical activity in the Florida sunshine can be taxing on the most conditioned child. The Pro Shop is air conditioned, but is very small. So it doesn't serve as a very efficient resting point as this park can get packed with kids. They do sell drinks here in the Pro Shop however. Here is the best part for the parent of the avid skateboarder...this professionally constructed park is completely FREE!!!

We went to the beach at the end of the 1 mile hike and walked the beach, looking for shells, watching crabs scramble by, and enjoying the views. It is well maintained by maintenance crews, and there are several picnic benches at the beach. It was hot on the way back, but there was a restroom at the beginning of the trail and a pavilion with benches. There was plenty of parking, no crowds, and places to fish, kayak, paddle board, and boat.

St Augustine, being America's oldest city, has quite a bit to see and do! We were able to see the lighthouse, fountain of youth, alligator farm, visit many restaurants and old bars and take the Flagler College tour. The only thing that would have made the day better would have a been a concert at the St Augustine Amphitheater! It was an amazing day!
