About

A 45-acre waterfront park along the Intracoastal with boardwalks through mangrove habitats, walking trails, and a playground. The recently renovated space offers self-serve kayak and paddleboard rentals through an app-based system, plus an observation pier for spotting local wildlife like crabs and birds. Perfect for kids who love nature exploration and water activities. The boardwalks and kayak launch are accessible, and the mangrove trails offer easy paddling for beginners. Free parking and a tucked-away location behind CVS make it feel like a hidden escape in the city.
