No fees & a nice parking area as you enter off of Hull street, close to Newmark. They don't allow motorized boats, but we spotted a couple of kayaks floating by, with the occupant casting a fishing line out. Beautiful scenery with well maintained, mostly shaded, asphalt trails. Very peaceful & the people we did see on the trail were polite & cordial.

If City Hall spent even a fraction of the millions they pump into downtown urban renewal projects…read moreand capital improvements on maintaining existing public infrastructure, maybe neighborhood parks wouldn't be left to rot for three decades. Leadership loves to hide behind the excuse that "there is no funding" while ignoring active liabilities like the abandoned, disintegrating bridge site at John Topits Park. Leaving pre-2003 rotting timber and structural hazards to disintegrate into a protected wetland isn't just a maintenance backlog it's severe institutional negligence. Telling residents to "take an alternate route" while millions flow into commercial blueprints and administrative vanity projects is a joke. Fix the public safety hazards you already have instead of sweeping decades-old liabilities under the rug.

Uh no, this beach is not for you - actually I'm pretty sure there's not a beach in Oregon that good for tans and swimming. Hiking though? Yes. Photography? Yup!

The area has quite a few communities beyond the namesake Coos Bay, including North Bend, Cooston, North Bay, and others including Charleston. Charleston is a set of rolling highlands that separate Coos Bay from the ocean. So if you want ocean, go West! There you will find state beaches and the Bastendorff Park of Coos County. There is an overlook of the beach, down the cliff. To get to the beach, walk back down the road. There is a children's play structure, parking and a grassy area at the overlook. Continue up the hill for RV-type camp spots with water and power hookups and a bathroom structure. The individual camping areas are shaded, and carved from the brush, providing some privacy from adjacent campers. The group area is at the top of the hill and largely unshaded, grass covered and sunny when it's clear. Though there is not a view of the ocean from there or any of the camping spots, it can be heard. It's the gem of the park camping areas, with its own bathroom shower structure, clean and with a huge supply of hot water. There is also an electric cooktop, sink and kitchen counter under a roof with picnic tables for your group. Each camping spot has a fire grate, but bring your own cooking grate with a finer mesh to hold whatever you are grilling. Great and unobtrusive park staff. We had a great get-together here to honor a local fisherman friend lost at sea with 3 generations of families participating, from up and down the Western states, Coos style. We are all Oregonians. As a Portlander I honor all the people all over the state. I understand that they cut trees, graze cattle, grow crops, mine, fish, hopefully over the long term. We are all in it together. I like to support the small businesses when I get a chance to visit too. Like in Coos where fishing has had some tough times with the closure of the Sacramento River salmon seasons and some slim fish runs for the Klamath basin. Sounds like those fish are back strong this year. So thinking of all you in Coos, and encourage Yelpers to visit the Southern Oregon Coast and the small towns supporting its awesome oceanfront!

Even at the start of winter the pond and ducks are a relaxing and calm sight to see. I imagine in the spring when everything is in foliage, it's more crowded. But I look forward to seeing it change throughout the year. They do have porta-pottys but would be nice if they had real restrooms. Across the street is a baseball field. Still didn't see any restrooms. Only had a short time to explore, but look forward to seeing the many hiking trails it offers.

Although it was a record high temperature day, the shade was lovely. The most surprising thing was the kitchen with running water and a sink. Great place for a large gathering.

The camping area, which you drive by to get the the picnic area, looked super full. Highly recommend the picnic area.
