They have a small parking lot in the back or you can park along the side of the street. This park has swings, slides, monkey bars and even a zipline to keep your children occupied. They have a covered pavillion with 2 BBQ grills which is excellent for a birthday party. I recommend you get there early because this park fills up quick! Theres plenty of natural shade from all the trees and they even have a restroom for you to use. Theres plenty of grass space for you to sit down and have a picnic as well. Theres random benches around the park and they even have some rocking swings. They have a xylophone to play and also drums for your musician talented kids. They have tons of swings and also swings for toddlers who cant hold on the chains. They even have a swing where you and your child can swing at the same time! There is no pets allowed so please leave your fury friends at home. This park is also very close to the beach as well so why not pack your bags on a lovely day out of the week and go enjoy a picnic here and after that go to the beach. Overall this park is great and im sure it wont disappoint! Go check it out for your self's!

I don't know why the disconnect, but I am going to imagine that it is the result of many meetings and snippy letters back and forth over the course of a decade. But the park is here now and it's well maintained. A smooth concrete path through the center that leads to a large gazebo. Several benches throughout. The park is also bordered on the railroad side by a split rail fence. I would guess that there is music in the park on weekends. Perhaps Jazz Sunday and a farmer's market? Who knows, I'm just using my imagination and context clues. [Review 14167 overall, 1489 of 2020, number 59 in Mississippi.]

The beach was undergoing some renovation with heavy equipment/machinery bringing in fresh sand. No we were there during the off-season.. the beach itself has beautiful, white sand and was fairly clean. It stretches for quite a ways and there are several beach bars/restaurant establishments on Biloxi Beach that you can dine out at. There's also a large souvenir shop called shark heads on Biloxi Beach that was fun to visit. Because we were there in April, it was a little too cold to spend extended time on the beach, but we enjoyed evening walks to watch the sunset. Note, Biloxi Beach is on the Mississippi sound so the water is brown. You may spot Atlantic bottle nose dolphins!

This beach is okay, and as you can see from the photos, it is quite a popular location because…read morethere is a small parking lot close by. We stopped here to spend a little time on the beach and experience the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately for us, there are multiple signs that say they do not allow dogs. We travel with our small dog and we don't like to leave her in our vehicle. My husband stayed with her while I checked the beach out for a bit. I really didn't think it was anything special. The sand here is super fine and you will notice that most people are taking their shoes off and leaving them in the parking lot. It's very difficult to get this sand off of you. There was also a smell, I want to say it was like sewage, but it wasn't that strong, just strong enough to make me not want to stay. Because of that I did not venture into the water. As I said, there is a parking area adjacent to this beach and a paved boardwalk that goes around where people were jogging and walking their dogs. This is definitely a functional beach and there were lots of family and children on the beach when I visited.

Excited to run around in the sand outside of shaggy's

The sand is white and soft and the water to me was fine. Easy free parking. I guess people complain about it being "dirty" but I lived 32 years along the pacific in southern California and compared to that, the Mississippi coast is practically drinking water. Maybe people just assume it's dirty because it's adjacent to the port and your mind starts to wander.... what's all that machinery putting out into these waters....??? In that regard, the beaches in Pass Christian are nicer because you don't have to look at the port, but when you're a little kid who just wants to run and swim and delight in the ocean, the view just doesn't really matter.

We were unable to feed and/or pet the stingrays, there was only 5 spots for kissing sea lion that were no longer available, so for a family unable to plan in advance with changing schedules it was a bummer. The bird feeder stick took me by surprise because it looks disappointing, however it was sufficient to get some of the birds to land.

With that said, the food was not good at all. The breakfast at the Oasis grill was okay! But overall food here is sooo overpriced and not worth it. The second day we ended up doing a grocery run and packing lunches. Bonus is that they let us bring in food/drinks into the pool area. So overall we LOVE this resort as a hotel with an amazing pool but will not eat at the restaurants lol Good thing there are lots of restaurants around it, Waffle House, fine dining etc, and grocery stores also.

The pool table was missing balls(they did eventually find some after spending close to 15 min trying to find them in the table) A few other games didn't work properly. We made do .
