Maxine Barritt Park

"It was a great place to walk with our whole family. It is very pet friendly and my nephew rode a scooter and no one minded. The path is wide enough for people to pass each other and the lookouts over the beach are a nice touch."

"Allowed a craft fair Good area for picnic and beach access. Very well maintained."

"Lovely place for a walk especially at sunset. Lots of benches and some short boardwalks to watch the sunset from. Cement walkway around lake. Restrooms and picnic areas. Grab a snack from the food truck at Sharky’s and enjoy a meal with a view."

"I think what this is best for is it’s a great place to walk a dog. There is also a fenced in dog run area. There are some shelters (one that’s quite large) but not a lot to see from any of them so I’d probably defer to another local place that has a beach view from a shelter if that’s what you are looking for. There are a handful of enclosed patio areas that lookout over the beach that are nice, and one (to the right, in the vicinity of the large shelter) has beach access via a ramp. If you are using this as a spot to park and go to the beach or pier, then I guess it’s ok. Otherwise I’d probably look for a better spot if you are planning to spend more time using facilities like tables and bbq for a picnic."

"This is a beautiful park with trees and foliage and a lovely pond with several species of birds. You can see the gulf from many different spots along the 2/3 mile sidewalk path and can walk down to the beach. It is not crowded and people are spread out to assure distancing during the pandemic. It is perfect for a picnic, as well."
