This is a great little spot to go for a walk there’s a seasonal outdoor patio there and an indoor restaurant also, can enjoy a drink or bite or just walk around. On the west side of the park there’s an artificial beach with umbrellas & chairs to sun bathe no swimming but a nice spot for sunshine, on the east side of the park is a grassy area with picnic tables. There’s a promenade to walk along as well. A nice public space.
