Beautiful park, very well maintained..plenty of parking...benches all around for sitting.. the fort is very unique to explore and look at.. it's about 2 miles from the Flagler beach access but I would recommend some form of transportation.

Nice little park in town. The fort ruins are an interesting site. There are also a few markers for other historic buildings that stood on the land. Worth a quick stop if you're in the area.

I like the park , it brings back memories of being a kid and going to the movie theater on Canal St. It's alot nicer than when I was younger. There's 2 plaques with some of N.S.B. history on them, many benches to sit on. You can bring your dog but they must be on a leash and you have to clean up after them.
