Rocky beach and no waves because it's on the bay. Parking is $22 for non residents. Wish the water was clearer but it's natural. Brought water shoes but didn't really need them if you're careful. They have an East beach and West beach within park. West allows bbqs, larger fields and nice views. East beach is more like a beach due to lifeguard staff. Nature center located on east beach as well. My photos are from west beach only.

I've come here a handful of times and it's always great. This time around, I came to the beach with…read moremy family for the 4th of July. I arrived at 11ish, paid $22 (non-Connecticut residents have to pay) and found parking immediately. Around 12:30 the parking lots were at capacity and closed. I love how there's so much to do at the park. You can grill, go to the beach, go for a walk and even ride your bike. It's a great time. The beach is small and full of rocks and pebbles. The water was freezing even in the hot weather. The walk towards the water is even worse. There's rocks everywhere you step and can be extremely painful. My sister and I both cut our feet trying to get in and out of the water so I HIGHLY recommend getting some water shoes! My favorite parking lot is the west side only because there's a bathhouse where you can change, use the bathroom and take a shower. Highly recommend to come here for a fun beach day or picnic or grilling. Love love this place!

Large waterfront park with lots of grassy areas, jogging/walking paths, two baseball diamonds and…read moresome basketball courts. A few nice sculptures and some fact posters around the park. It was very quiet (only a few cars) there when I visited on a Friday, mid-morning. Lots of parking spaces but non-Norwalk residents must pay the $6 parking fee to park at all time. Parking can be paid using the ParkMobile app. Might be more worth it for locals who come regularly to jog/walk...but I can't say the $6 fee is worth it for visitors unless they have other interested there...i.e. attending a game.

A very nice small park with water views. We stopped at the park because we picked up some food and…read morewanted a place to be able to have our lunch. We parked and was able to have a nice view of the water and boats which were docked. The park had just a few tables but it didn't matter since we were dining in our car. We then followed with a short walk through the park. The pathway near the water was a bit rocky and bumpy but there was a paved pathway as well. Overall it was a nice place to be able to sit and have lunch while enjoying the scenery as you walk through the park the have several interesting sculptures.

I showed up with my own paddleboard and had a great time exploring the Long Island Sound from Walnut Beach. They also rent bicycles. They have a cute little shop right near the water.

Trial class scared the child as there were no accommodations to welcome or educate on the routine. Fear developed quickly so a second attempt a week later was scheduled in hopes it was an anomaly but it wasn't. Things went from bad to worse. Office staff wanted to charge us as a second trial visit which was fine but they were ignoring the trauma in development and the submitted paperwork of enrollment (showing clear commitment but reticent due to 3 yr old reaction. We got through that, then there was the inflexibly and insensitive approach yet again as our daughter walked into the gym space. Less than 5 minutes and tears were like a river!!! We tried to dork out an option to arrive 15 minutes early in hopes to get a "show and tell" of the environment but the front desk were so closed minded even that wasn't an option. Can only imagine what will be next, clearly we aren't enrolling our daughter, will they charge us anyway. To be determined (continued)...

This place has tours groups you can go on an expedition with, or if you want just rent the kayaks and make your own adventure. I went renting the kayaks. I would say wear something comfortable, but good for the conditions as you will be out on the river for an hour or two. And don't forget your sunscreen! And if you want, bring a refreshment for the ride. Rentals are very inexpensive and totally worth it. If you like Kayaking, paddle yourself this way.
