Great little village rugby park with views of the ocean and a bar deck. Fantastic atmosphere and community spirit on show during any of the Newport Breakers' home games at any grade level.

Great local park. Also used for junior rugby games. Very simple grass area but great to run around with a ball. Had good but rough basketball hoop
