Bayside Park at 3rd Street

The Park on 3rd street has been around for decades but finally got the refresh that it needed. This Spring, the new and improved park opened and has it all. With four-acres, the park includes walking paths, benches, two playgrounds, a skate park, pickle-ball and tennis courts, as well as basketball courts! Don’t miss out on the boardwalk overlooking the bay where you can fish as well!

The last day of operation for the skate park was on Sunday, September 29th. However, they will be reopening in Spring/Summer 2025. In the meantime, you can enjoy the other amenities as the weather gets cooler. Keep an eye out for future events and concerts that hopefully will take place in the park. They just hosted their first event, Shore Craft Beer’s OCtoberfest on September 21st and it was a success!

The park is free and open to all so stop by and enjoy a pickle-ball match or make your way across the monkey bars.
