"Nice park for fishing. This park has restrooms & some type of ticket kiosk near the restrooms. I am not sure if the ticket kiosk is for the WAVE Mobile City Bus Transit or for fishing licenses. There are a few shaded pavilions, some with electric plug ins and water faucets. It is right next to The US Coast Guard Station, you can watch the helicopters take off & land. There was a girl walking laps at the park. There is no playground at this park. I was here walking my dog. There are alligators in the water, I would not let your dog swim. There is one or two small piers you can moor a boat up to, like a canoe or kayak, small boat with an engine, does not look big enough to accommodate a large boat, looks like there are a few obstructions, namely logs & gators, looks shallow, it's in the wetlands."

"Well kept, tidy park. Great place for senior citizens to exercise. There is a pier where you can fish and/or enjoy the splendor of the Alabama gulf coast. The only reason it gets 4/5 stars is because there are no trails. The Gator is super cute, I named him Snappy."

"This is an absolutely beautiful park. Great place to take the dogs for a walk or even just to go walk by yourself. You can fish off the dock or even have a barbeque in one of the pavilions. The view of the bay is absolutely amazing. This is one of my favorite places in Mobile Alabama."

"It's a very nice, quiet and beautiful place to relax. Do some walking exercises. Read a book. There's plenty of benches along the sidewalk. A nice pier to fish from and if you are riding a wave runner, there is a small dock to park and walk up to the pier. There are public restrooms, men's room is clean, women's were not. And there is a bus stop near the restroom."
