“This is a spectacular park with views across to the Pacific Ocean. They have spent a lot of money making this park so amazing to walk, play baseball or just relax here. The community hall has dozens of activities from Bridge, Yoga and can also be rented out for parties. The team who work here are very friendly and awesome people. You should definitely visit.”
