Really cool. The water and trails are very well marked and it is beautiful. You’re going to see a lot of wildlife. I also have places for you to wash your boards or kayaks and lots of bike pads and maps. It’s really incredibly beautiful. Highly recommend! Five stars

Great park. We love the splash pad and playground combo. We also love catching the juice train at one of the only crossings you can walk up too that’s not across a roadway. We also enjoy strolling the riverfront with our bikes/scooters with many stops along the way. You have fitness spots along the way, volleyball and many other things to see!

We visited the Bob Gardner Community Park as part of The Dog Wizard training support group for our puppy Bingo. The park grounds were well maintained with nice landscaping. The covered pavilion with picnic tables offered great shade. One of the ladies room toilets was out of order and there was very limited parking due to multiple events happening on the same day. Recommend if you can find parking 😃

This has a dock for fishing or viewing the Palma sola bay. Picnic tables, shade from trees. No playground, no restroom, no walking trails - this is strictly for enjoying bay viewing. No kayak or boat launch, no beach for swimming. Dog poop bags and trash can. This is a residential lot that was donated and it is in between two private residential waterfront homes. There is a gate that automatically shuts when the park closes.
