About

A 45-acre waterfront park with boardwalks through mangroves, walking trails, and kayak rentals through a self-serve kiosk system. The park connects to the Intracoastal Waterway and features restored native habitat where kids can spot crabs, birds, and marine life from the observation pier and extended boardwalks. Perfect for families wanting to explore nature with kids of all ages, especially those who enjoy wildlife spotting and water activities. The playground, picnic areas, and ADA-compliant trails make it accessible, while the PADL kayak rental app lets older kids and teens paddle through the mangrove trails independently.
