Beautiful, but really needs public toilets! It has a picnic area and play equipment for kids so you would expect public toilets, very strange that it doesn’t have them. However the view of the water is great, and it is a very nice small park.

Located in the quiet Abbotsford suburbia, this park is nice and has both features of BBQ picnic friendly park and children playground. Nearby water shore is also accessible when the tide is low. Parking is rather challenging in the adjacent street due to nearby quarantine reserve park.
