    Great little park just north of the torpedo factory to chill out in. The trees right along the river provide enough shade to kick back and relax under.

    Awesome dog park, volleyball and a great water view. Shops and restaurants a few blocks away. Lovely place to spend an afternoon.

    A nice park to visit but parking is very difficult. Suggest you walk, bike or ride the King St trolley. It’s an easy walk and on the Union Street bike route.

    Nice park with limited parking. It has beautiful view on the sea but missing children playground.
