Great park, grassy area for kids to play and a beautiful waterfront pathway. Only one toilet, and the park, BBQs and benches could use a tidy. Lots of places to eat close by.

Nice little park, decent amount of shade, right on the river, views are awesome. Picnic tables etc. One shared restroom which was a bit gross.

Great spot to have coffee and watch the sunrise, we were lucky enough to see dolphins every morning!

Great place to watch the sun set. We got some fish and chips from the amazing "a fish shop called dory" (you must go) and ate our afternoon snack whilst waiting for the sun to set. Not very scenic during the day, but nice at sunset
