Mt. Elliot Park

Highlight • Rest Area

This little park is really fun for the family, with a schooner-themed playground that includes water cannons and some small cascades — maybe no big surprise, since the park is right next to the Coast Guard base? There are fishing piers, restrooms and a cafe, too, and the park also connected into the Riverwalk.
