Beautiful little park! Parking is sparse unfortunately, as the few available spots go fast on the weekends. Parking is free however. Lots of dogs being walked, and bags are plentiful so please be responsible pet parents and use them. Excellent low impact rubberized walking/jogging paths and workout stations.

We love this park for many reasons. It's size is a big reason so you have options of where to setup a blanket under a tree, go to the dog area, sit on a bench and people/dog watch, go for a run/walk through the trail, and enjoy the water view with sailboats on a intimate bridge. Our dogs love going there, and we do too to get some exercise in. They even have a volleyball court too if that's your thing!

This park is one of my favorites not only does it offer a huge variety of things to do like walking around or going for a run, it has a great space which is mainly just for the dogs a park for them to run around and play in, it has a bathroom facility next to the volleyball fields. Beautiful views of the ocean from the small wooden bridge at the end of the park trail, there’s also lots of beautiful space to walk around and have a picnic with you’re friends or family, you can bring you’re dog or n a walk and they have a dog park that’s nice and spacious for them to run around. It’s also got a nice fitness area to work out and exercise. I recommend you come chill here if you haven’t yet.

Great park, spacious dog park, nice running trails.. great view to the sea from the wooden bridge!

This is one of, if not my favorite, park to go reflect and take my dog along. It has two dog areas based on size and weight, and dogs are allowed outside of the dog area, i.e. the rest of the park. For precautions, I only take off the leash of my dog when she's in the dog area, but I've seen dogs without leashes in the park. Very dog friendly. There are several picnic tables and trees, great shade. It has three volleyball courts, and it's near a lake. The restrooms improved recently in that they constructed a building for restrooms, whereas before they have trailers. It has a playground for children. Every day, there is someone who owns a truck selling lemonade, which is refreshing. There is free parking, but it is competitive because it's a popular park among locals. If you arrive late, you will struggle to find parking despite there being two small lots. I definitely recommend going here to relax.

Loved this park. Great place to bring your kids or to go by yourself. Seen lots of different critters. The soft walk way was great

Beautiful park and dog park. It also faces the bay area with limited nice views. There is a small boardwalk you can look over the water. Plenty of benches and some tables as well. There was also a volleyball court and an area with exercising stations to work out. What I love the most is the rubber trail around the park through all the big beautiful trees. The trial feels nice and soft for your feet and knees. Parking lot is small but free. I'm not sure if there was public restrooms.
