Downs Park is one of my most favorite places to visit! There are so many highlights I don't think I could list them all! There are playgrounds for children, a fishing pier for families, trails for active people, Pavillions to rent for parties, a stage for concerts and events, and one of my most favorite places to sit which is right in front of the water where the ships go by... Downs Park is a beautiful year round, with lots of trees and water, with a little beach, and a separate beach for dogs! Unfortunately, due to the rocks and sticks in the water swimming is not allowed (for people) and the rule I believe is you can only go knee deep or less. But right next to the beach, there is a kayak ramp if you have any kayaks. There are so many things at Downs Park that I can not even list them all, but I have tried my best to list all the highlights.
I have been coming to this park since I was a child. It has always been an amazing experience. It is always peaceful, full of beautiful birds of all kids, deer and more. It is always an adventure when we go. Now, I get to take my kids to experience all the wonders that I did when I was their age. This will always be my happy place!
We absolutely love this park.
Our dogs love the dog beach, and I love walking the trail. We saw 2 bald eagles there today!
Very beautiful.

Very nice place to be there and change your mood , while your kids get a chance to have fun
Good place to get some exercise outdoors, watch bay shipping and attend events. There is a dog beach and fishing pier. I recommend getting a pass for frequent visits.
Ive only been back once in 15 years and so far i love it so much better than when i was younger. Its so nice and well kept. Cant wait to come back
The playground is huge and very different. It is also right next to the water and pavillion which is perfect.
Can fish almost anywhere. There is a dog beach and one just for humans.

Visited only a portion of this very large and beautiful park. Options for the kids to play on the new and improved playground. Plus, lots of nature trails and paths need to water with plenty of seating. Beach access for kayaking and canoeing. Plenty of restrooms and restaurants along the way.
