The park lies adjacent to the city-owned Walnut Beach, to which it is connected by boardwalk. A boardwalk with railings extends from the parking lot to the beach (about 200 ft) and also runs along part of the beach. The land alongside the boardwalk had been used as a landfill. However, the salt water tidal marsh is being environmentally restored. Through the marsh, there are also remnants of the foundations of cottages that were destroyed by Diane. There is also an old dirt road that goes east–west through the park. Park trails form segments of the East Coast Greenway.
