I love coming here for walks and soaking up the panoramic views of the coastline. Benches are stationed throughout the park to enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, some areas have been gated off for safety reasons due to the foundation of the hillside. If you want to venture down to the beach, just look for the wooden archway. The stairway will lead you down to the shoreline. Occasionally high tides won't allow you to venture down, so just be aware of that. The beach itself is rocky, and sometimes full of debris so bring comfy shoes! This spot is ideal for families, walkers, and even solo relaxation. I recommend bringing a small bag for special sea treasures that you may find during your visit. I always enjoy looking for sea shells, sea glass and heart shaped rocks. The rock formations here are always breathtaking during low tides so be sure to bring a camera or have your phone fully charged. Overall, Shoreline Park is my top favorite in town and a must-visit for beach lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. It's also a dog friendly park, so bring your fur baby as well.

Accessible courts for pickle ball including a multi-tiered basketball hoop which I've never seen. The playground looks new and is adjacent to a skatepark that's for kids 12 and under (for skating and skateboard only but there are plenty of littles who ride their bikes). Lots of shade with tables. A walking and bike path. What a cool find! We did come early on a Sunday morning - 945am - because I read that parking can be difficult. There were 2 spots left in the lot and street parking, because it is shared with apartments, was non existent.

Initially, we didn't realize that there is a shaded area in the heart of the play structure with lots of benches for adults to hang out while the kids explore all of the many nooks and crannies of the "castle". There are enough different kinds of apparatus for climbing, sliding, swinging, and challenging oneself to keep kids of most ages entertained for quite a while. SG is almost 7 and it was perfect for her. She had to wait to be able to get onto a tire swing, so she kept an eye out for when that became available. She is determined to conquer the monkey bars, and that's a work in progress. Some parents of shorter stature with young kids were brave enough to crawl in and around part of the structure with their little ones. The central play area is built of sturdy wood in the shapes of a fanciful castle. While the wood adds a timeless appearance, it is also densely constructed, so it can be hard to visually keep track of your child as they move from place to place in the large area. I am having some mobility issues, so following SG around and standing on uneven ground (wood chips and padded mats) doesn't work for me. Even the wooden benches started to get to me after a while. If we were to come here again, given how much play time SG wanted to have, I would bring a portable seat cushion to keep my behind from falling asleep! Overall, this was a big win. Lots of intriguing play challenges, shade from the unrelenting August sun, free parking and free public park site. There's a bathroom building adjacent, but we didn't need to use it. Several street vendors were also available selling fruits, beverages, popsicles, etc.

But then I walked around more and found that the park wasn't as exciting as I thought. Basically, it's a tiny little family park at the top of a hill with a nice picnic area that includes family size benches, BBQs, and trash/recycle bins. Then there's the playground which is about the size of a typical driveway (tiny) and the swings only consist of those the fit tiny children and babies - I know, adults, I was bummed too. If you walk up the dirt road to the lined fence pathway, at the top of that path is the basketball court and more picnic bench areas. There's a beautiful view up there and it's nice and secluded from the rest of the park. Overall, it's a cute little run stop or place to meet for a picnic date or have a low budget young kid's birthday party, but wouldn't recommend for much else other than that. It is well upkept, visually appealing, and very kid friendly with nice street parking options, but the mere fact that it is so tiny and has no adult swings is a turn away point for me personally.
