During the winter months, visitors must use caution due to potential winter conditions on walkways and roadways. The park facilities have been winterized, and all concessionaires are closed for the season. Portable restrooms are available at the Discovery and Sandy Point units, while the west restrooms at the concession building of Spring Shores Marina remain open.

Boaters should be aware of unseen hazards at the west ramp of Spring Shores, especially during low water levels and winter weather conditions. Visitors are reminded to exercise caution around the water, as steep cliffs and drop-offs can be dangerous. Those with vehicles are advised to be mindful of sand and mud to avoid getting stuck, as park staff are not available for vehicle recovery.

Discovery Park is also a great spot for dogs to play, but owners must clean up after their pets and keep them leashed when not in the water.
