5 /5 Mack Pines: Nice park along the river.
Has a large and sandy beach, picnic tables, and restrooms that open during the warmer months.
The Waterfront Trail begins here and you can walk or ride it four miles to downtown.
Summertime can be a zoo with lots of people swimming and partying.
Fall and winter is a great time to go if you want quiet and solitude broken only by the planes taking off and the occasional train.
