Banfield Park

This was my second attempt at strolling through this area. I came a few weeks ago but the park was locked off with police tape due to an officer being attacked. The area is super quiet and seems like a nice place to relax. There is a beautiful view of the water and it has a floating dock the you can swim out too as well. Great place for walking or riding a bike as it leads out to the Selkirk Trestle. I highly recommend coming and exploring this location, I'm sure the incident was a one off as this is a beautiful family oriented environment with a playground not too far off for more enjoyment for the kids.
Not much to look at but there is shade and a grassy area to sit and eat lunch. The labyrinth wasn't all too impressive i.m.h.o, just flat concrete and map of the area to walk. Tried to get a better vantage point with the drone but got the dreaded "too close to an airport" warning. Nice place to relax for a bit but not much else. Some areas near the church have a few aggressive homeless people there so just be on your toes...

Amazing unobstructed beautiful views of the Oceanside. The day was perfect and we enjoyed a little bite to eat while taking in the sights. The kids enjoyed climbing on the rocks and trying to get the best vantage point. Plenty of birds, boats and people all taking advantage of what the island has to offer. This was our first time here but definitely not our last as this seems like it could be a great area to view sunrises and sunsets so we want to check that out.

Beautiful open view of the ocean. Great place to have a bike ride or take your fur babies🐕. There are stairs approximately 400 meters apart leading down to the beach below. Amazing place for pictures for sure, especially sunsets. Plenty of people trying to get in their vitamin D and exercise, so remember to be mindful of your distancing. Beach is more rocky in places than sand when you first get down the stairs. Great place for picnics or just plain old fashioned relaxing on the beach

Nice little hike up some rocks and grass. The view is absolutely spectacular on a clear day, you can literally see for miles in all directions. Nobody else was there when went and we were treated to an extra awesome surprise. A huge eagle had decided to sit and chill on the to of the monument. A woman was watching us from the roadside wondering why we all had our phones and cameras out, when she noticed the massive bird. She ran grabbed her camera from her house and came back only to scare him off...
