For Mystery Photo Monday #16, I asked if you knew where this photo was taken:
This beautiful spot is the view from the Sanders Beach-Corinne Jones Community Center park off of Barrancas in Pensacola. Remember a few months ago I told you that one of my goals was to try and visit a new park every week or two? Well, I am so excited to have discovered this spot! There is a great park that Little S loved to play on.
We took a little walk on the boardwalk by the water and sat on a bench to watch the waves crash and the birds fly by.
There are restrooms available inside the community center (which is absolutely gorgeous and booked solid for months!).
There are a ton of activities and classes available here as well. We are about 15-20 minutes away from this park but it was worth the drive.
Things to Know Before You Go:
- The boardwalk is right along the water and jagged rocks. Be sure to hold tight to little curious ones!
- There are picnic tables and a small pavillion that we were told was first come, first serve.
Sanders Beach-Corinne Jones Community Center is located at 913 S. I Street and the contact number is 850.436.5193
Is there a place where you can get in the water?
Jennifer-I would call over there first as to whether it is recommended. There is a VERY small sandy spot (there may be more, but that is all we saw) but most of it is boardwalk up high. I did not let my daughter get near the water because she is rather adventurous.
Wow I don’t believe we’ve ever discovered that park. Excited to have a new place to explore:)!
Shawn- We were so excited to discover this park. It is a great area. Even though it is a little bit of a drive for us, I think it is well worth it!
My kids LOVE this park. We found it a few months ago. The community center has a LOT of perks too if you are on a budget Free wii in the lounge, library and a gym (I belive she said it was $1 a visit wow!!), plus it is a prime area for new community classes, craft camps and daycamps now! Lisa
ONLY park with shade in downtown/westside! see you there!
