Nice place to have a picnic , or just relax. You can hear the control tower talk to the planes . Pretty cool :-)

Heather Laube

Nice area to watch planes take off and land. Mornings would probably be a better time to go so the sun wouldn't be in your eyes.

Denise Carman

Nice place to have lunch on a pretty day. Think of it as a park with the bonus of watching airplanes . Good clean restrooms too!

Gina

Totally awesome airport themed playground . Watch planes takeoff and land with the feed from the air traffic control . Only difficult to find!

Olu Macc

Great water front views , access to open grass, beach and boardwalk

Colin Lord

Better to come here in the morning. If it's the afternoon, the sun will be behind the planes .
