Families can also use the picnic tables, horseshoe pits, basketball hoops, sand volleyball court and playground equipment. There's also a boat ramp, but the area in front is often silted in, making launching tricky. A small picnic shelter can be found near the center of the park. A barrier-free asphalt trail nearly a mile long runs along the shore. There's a beach volleyball area located at the west end of the park, and the winds off the river make this a favorite spot for flying a kite.
Cargo ships draw near on their way to and from the ocean.
They add to the scenery, but their wakes make swimming dangerous. This summer, a long-awaited public boat launch is scheduled to open. The park is open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. in summer. To reach it from Ocean Beach Highway, turn south onto Willow Grove Connector Road and then right onto Willow Grove Road.
