Description
Beyond the main defensive structure, the grounds open into grassy fields dotted with historic military buildings and pockets of local wildlife. A steady waterfront breeze keeps the trails cool, making it a quiet, low-pressure spot to unwind. Friendly gate staff greet you at the entrance, and the park also hosts a public outdoor swimming pool, offering a mix of neighborhood recreation and quiet exploration.
