A nice waterside reserve that also features free parking, benches, toilets, a playground, and fishing access. The playground is small but decent. However, there is minimal shade, and some parts (the slides especially) have a coating on them that gets DANGEROUSLY hot in direct sunlight. Your little ones will burn themselves after a mere moment of contact so be very careful.

Small park with short walking track. Maybe good for fishing high tide. Very tranquil and peaceful along river
