"Its an amazing walking, running and bikeing spot. Its spacious and the veiws are always top stuff. There are tours(?) but i didnt take one just enjoyed the weather."
"Fun place to spend the afternoon, lots of paved walking paths, playground, beaches, fields, and there's a bathroom too (near the beaches) with a outdoor shower."
"All blocked up but a pleasant 20 minute walk around park with great water views."
"Pretty cool fort to check out. It was closed when I went. I'm not sure if it's usually open and you can go inside or not, but I walked around the outside. You can see inside the fort through the hole in the front door. On the inside It looked like the grass hadn't been cut in a long time and looked like a tarp and trash were on the ground. There is another part of the fort on the outside where you can walk around and through a couple of the bunkers. Unfortunately, there was a lot of trash thrown all over the place inside of the bunkers. It looks like the city, state, or whoever currently owns the property hasn't been keeping it up."
"Nice walking area along the coast. Lots of benches to sit at. Historical fort with old bunkers. Beautiful boardwalk. It smelled like poop half the time no matter where we walked, guessing it was the water plant next to the fort. Or whatever people threw away in the trash cans. Ice cream shop only open Saturdays & Sundays. Public bathroom near the boardwalk."
