This is and has always been one of my favorite places to take a walk. We don't have a beach around these parts. I find the little stream going through the back of the park to be quite relaxing. Also, you can easily get lost in here. Take it from me, I've done it quite a few times. There's Little critters throughout the park and I've heard there are coyotes at night.
Overall, I'd recommend this for a nice nature walk. Bring water, take your time and explore/get a little lost and see what you find.
