This beach is absolutely beautiful but beware of rip currents and jelly fish…read more This was our 2nd stop and it was breathtaking. I love the large parking area and ramps that give you easy access to the Beach. There is a charge to use the fishing pier but from what I could see, it was worth it to those that were fishing. Tons of fish , pelicans, dolphins but also jelly fish. Water was crisp and clean and cool and perfect for a Florida summer morning.

This very small park is located at the southeast portion of Pensacola Regional Airport. to the…read morePensacola International Airport property! It is set way back along a somewhat secluded road called Jerry L Maygarden Road. It may seem like you're going onto private property, but you're not! The park is between the SkyWarrior Flight Training & Pensacola Aviation Center to the left and the Pensacola Air Flight School & the Pensacola Navy Flying Club to the right. There's a gate at the entrance of this park. It is free to the public. The park is open from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily. There are picnic tables of which one has shade. It rained a lot while I was visiting Pensacola in August. The park looks like a mini airport with runways, control tower, and airplanes! Although there is a mini Control Tower (observation tower) at this park, I could not get to the stairs without stepping into a very large pool of water! I really wanted to go up there, but I didn't want to get my shoes soaking wet! The main walkway is a mock runway. The smiling red, blue, and yellow airplane toys are off to the side. Too cute!!! This discovery park is also known as the General Daniel "Chappie" James Jr. Aviation Discovery Park. General "Chappie" was a Pensacola native who became the first African American four-star general to serve in the U.S. military. There are tribute plaques to him and other individuals important to aviation. I stayed here for about a half hour and watched the planes land & take off at the Pensacola Regional Airport. Hubby & I used to park near the Los Angeles Airport (LAX) way back in the day before the road was barricaded and closed to the public. We'd watch the planes take off! I miss that and it was nice to be able to do that here for a bit!

Great area to take a kid for snack and out door time! You can hear the control towerread more

Enjoyed our visit. Not many dogs in small dog park on Sunday. I met a very nice young man named…read moreCory that brought his dog over from big dog side to play with Oliver and they had a great time. Come to find out Cory was from Chattanooga and I am from Huntsville, so small world when we Met in Pensacola. Enjoyed our visit. the park was clean a lot of toys only drawback is the water fountain for the dogs was very very slow coming out. There was a bowl there for the dogs that you could get water I did bring water and a bowl from my dog and of course I brought toys and bag for his waste. There is bags available for you to use there. somebody was in the small dog side cleaning up, overall the park was clean and was maintained. It looked in good repair. I did give it a five star I was impressed. There is chairs there is also benches and there is shade I did see bathrooms that was up closer to the front of the park so I did not see them by the dog park side so it was a bit of a walk, but there was benches by the trees, so you did have a shade that you could sit in while your fur baby played .

I went here today for the first time…read more This place could *potentially* be a really GREAT park if the grounds were fertilized & better maintained. It was pretty dry & dusty while we were there. It really needs regular irrigation. The grass patches had a lot of high weeds in them. It's a large park with a very large covered pavilion & picnic tables for large gatherings. It has a great kids playground & several fields. If also has 2 fenced in dog areas for small & large dogs. There were a few people there hanging in their tinted window cars in the parking lot which was a bit of a bummer. I really liked it. I do wish they would maintain the grounds better. I will check out the dog parks & update the review.

What we love about this beach is no matter where you are hangin on the beach for the day, inside the the Gulf Islands National seashore park area pay area, it's a quick drive to Langdon beach to use the bathrooms/showers that are just in front of the parking area. You can literally jump out of your car, go to the restroom or take a quick fresh water shower. It's the only place on the seashore that you can do that. Very convenient when your beach hoping around. The Langdon beach area is also lovely & it has lifeguards. Great stop for the kids. Highly recommend.

What a great location and memorial for Veterans!…read more The first thing I noticed when I was parking, was the special purple space reserved for Combat Wounded Veterans. That's awesome! Veterans Memorial Park is adjacent to Admiral Mason Park. They share the 5.5 acres of land. The Veterans Memorial Park pays tribute to the American Revolution, Korean War, WWI, WWII, Marine Aviation, Submarine Vets, Purple Heart, Minuteman, Persian Gulf War, Gold Star Families, and Global War on Terror. They have reserved a spot for the future home for the Military War Dog Memorial. Veterans Memorial Park has been here since 1992. At the main entrance is a flag court with flags from each of the branches of our Military. There's a UH-1 Cobra Helicopter near Wall South. It's placement is visible from the road, but what is really cool is that when you are facing Wall South, the helicopter is high enough that it seems like it is hovering nearby! Wall South is a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. This wall has 58,315 names of the dead and missing. There's a lake in the Admiral Mason Park with walking trails and benches. It seems like a great place to hang out at. It was hot out, so I just took a quick look from the Veterans Memorial Park area. Something else to see nearby - just across Bayfront Parkway is Hawkshaw Lagoon Memorial Park, which has a sculpture called "The Sanctuary" by Sam Nettles. This is a National Memorial for Missing Children. Might be worth a little walk across the street to see. Be careful crossing the busy street because cars may not stop even though there is a marked pedestrian walkway. Thank you to all the veterans who have served our country and to those who are currently serving!
