The park is named for Vince Whibbs. He was the mayor of Pensacola from 1978 to 1991. He they have a nice statue of him at the end of the park. All in all, I'm going to give this small park four stars.

Unfortunately there were no Sunday concerts due to Covid but 2021 is looking good. The Vince J. Whibbs, Sr. Community Maritime Park is a multi-use, public-private park development on Pensacola's waterfront. The Randall K. and Martha A. Hunter Amphitheater overlooks beautiful Pensacola Bay. The amphitheater part of the park supports a covered stage a "Back of House" facility that supports two dressing room spaces, & grass seating for up to 5,000. It really is picturesque sitting on that grass with breezes coming off the bay and digging the music, very nice indeed. While I am very fond of the concerts there's a lot more going on in this well laid out, well maintained and highly functional park. The Rotary Centennial Playground is great for kids ages 5-12 and includes climbing structures and more for them to explore and play. The walking path around the water makes the park perfect for working out, biking and running or if you're just looking for a looking for a place to walk that had enough room for social distancing and was by water, this is a great choice. Hey, love to fish? Well you can do that at the park too! Because the park is on the waterfront, it makes a nice place for fishing, there's even a fishing peir. It's also right next door to the Blue Yahoo stadium, the AAA team for the Cincinnati Reds. I know there's a bigger connection to the Yahoo's but not sure what that's about. Let me close by talking about our last concert in 2019. We roll up with our picnic, chairs and coolers and get hit with a little Memphis rockabilly. Wait I just left Memphis and I'm in Florida. LOL But it was really good and everyone was in to it. There was a very nice crowd, very nice people and there's free water and there's a Greek food truck set up on the edge of the concert area at the top of the hill. Somebody slap me LOL Very important note: The great folks at Blues Angel Music put on the free concerts and people are offered a chance to buy raffle tickets for some really cool musical instruments and other nice stuff. They do this to raise money for their foundation that provide musical instruments for schools and those in need, big kudos to those guys. Music has been VERY big influence in my life and I support this effort, it's a pretty big deal! Bottom line: Our last show was rockabilly but there's other genres of music represented by the water at Maritime Park!! You can bring a chair, your cooler and the parking & the admission is free. It's really cool and highly recommended for this weekly family friendly fun outing for your Sunday. Even if concerts aren't your thing it's still just an all around great park. http://facebook.com/pg/communitymaritimepark/events/

Not great water pressure though. Great place to camp. Clean bathrooms and really nice water pressure and hot water showers! The sign says no golf carts but there were plenty of them! The Outpost is a little store but they don't carry much except some drinks and you can rent some sleeping bags. It leaves the impression that so much more could be sold/rented there! I needed a 50 to 30 amp adapter for my power cord and the camp host (space #10) had an extra one to lend me. Sweeeet. Great couple. If i would suggest MWR improvements, i would say......fix the ice machine! Fix the coke machine! Add some items to rent/sell in the outpost (like firewood). No propane right now, don't know why. Boat wash needs a better hose. Still, we love the place.

I was by there on a Tuesday mid-morning and was struck at how many homeless people are in this little park. I seem to notice if there seems to be a lot more homeless people here in Pensacola that on my last few visits. It seems to be a nice enough walkway, though it is little more than just a greenway with a sidewalk going through it. I do not know if I can give this place a recommendation. As I said, there's really not much to it other than a little sidewalk in a few benches. But if you are in the area I just need to chill for a bench on a bit, I guess this place will work fine.

We've not explored them and mainly visit for the beaches. Military can receive a free lifetime pass for national parks so the entry fee is waived here. I greatly appreciate. My husband loves to bike here. I love to come and see the Inlet. You can go to the Bayside or you can go to the Oceanside. There's also some older probably early 1900 homes scattered about the property from another iteration of its use. There's also I believe World War I one or World War II bunkers present here so this state Park has had many different lives and leaves quite a legacy. We've driven through the campgrounds which look really nice. And the stretch of golf here is substantial. You could definitely find a place to be all on your own if you were willing to walk. The facilities are nice. There are restrooms but parking can be limited at the beach lots on the gulf side when driving in. It's an extensive park and a very long stretch. The water is incredible. It's turquoise jello on the right days.

It is a beautiful stretch of beach there isn't much out there once you pass Peg Leg Pete's, but some designated areas to park for beach access, on the Gulf of Mexico side. You can see some remnants of the old Fort areas on the sound side, they are restricted areas, it's kinda of eerie, like time has stood still. Not a lot of people use this end of the Gulf Islands National Seashore, there is a unspoiled beauty about it. Untouched beautiful beachside paradise. There is a overnight camp/campground area, within the park, at the end near the Fort. It's a great place to camp while exploring the Gulf Islands National Seashore "Fort Pickens area." Highest Recommendations.

The park is along the bay waters, relatively small with no equipment for kids to play on. It has shade and places to sit. You can watch the boats at dock. It's a quiet place to meditate or just sit, but not a kids centric park. Picnicing is a appealing because of the open spaces and quiet surroundings but there's only a few benches, so bringing a chair or a blanket is a good option for a place to relax any day. There's runs, yoga, fireworks watching, walks in trails and by the water and the Pensacola Seafood Festival now has the main music stage here with vendors throughout. https://www.cityofpensacola.com/facilities/facility/details/bartrampark-17 https://www.facebook.com/pages/William-Bartram-Memorial-Park/158930744146155
