User reviews
"I really enjoyed Powerhouse Park! The beach access was very convenient and the interactive playground was a great addition. It was also nice to have accessible public restrooms available. Spending an afternoon here with loved ones was wonderful. Even surfing was an option, though parking nearby could be difficult on weekends due to high demand."
Rajiv Sharma
"The bathrooms were decent, although they could have been cleaner. The wheelchair accessible bathrooms were a plus and well-maintained. The beach itself was stunning and there were lifeguards present during the day for added safety. Parking was available across from the restrooms and beach, but it wasn't free. Alternatively, you could park further away for free parking."
