Nicely designed small gathering area. There is plenty of seating area with some benches. Drinking fountains are available. Rubish bins that you can't miss. Public toilets. There are plenty of parking spaces. And playgrounds for kids and young adults. Close to fish and chips shop. Great and picturesque view of the lighthouse, ocean, and parks. This is a Pet-friendly park as well.
