I am off to another park.

Unbelievable. Next time they want to blow three million, they should just give it to me. The flooding situation still won't be fixed, and they'll still be out three million, but at least I'll put it to good use.

What a cute beach. I…read morecame for a little during the off season (4/25/25) after having lunch. It wasn't crowded at all. The beach was clean. I noticed what looked like bar area. There was also a place for the kids to borrow beach toys. There's also a playground. There is a lot you can park in if you have a permit, and street parking is also available. I could definitely see this beach getting crowded as the season gets closer, but I would definitely return.

It wasn't nearly as busy when we arrived, mainly due to the zoo being closed. There is a trail that does a big loop around the park, including nice scenery to take in. A map isn't really necessary since there is one trail, with the expectation of one branching off into a big field which then meets up again on the main trail. A playground is provided along the trail and also some exercise stations to stop at. It would be nice to see some touch-ups here and there, pertaining to the trails, but nothing major. We didn't cover everything, but this park along with the Wildlife and Ecology Center is the place to come to for a great meet-up.

I walked the entire ground the other day and found a little glass closer to the water side of the park... that's pretty typical of beaches in general and due mostly to careless people; If it bothers you and your pup, might I suggest doing your part and picking a couple pieces up?

This may just have been the day I went...luckily they pulled a back-up boat for the rest of the people waiting otherwise it would have been another hour. Tickets are $17 RT for an adult and the ticket window is CASH ONLY. Last I checked this was 2016, but who's counting... Overall, I suppose this does the job getting you from point A to point B but not my cup of tea.
