Oars & Paddles Park

River launch point! This is the launch point for most Melbourne-based crew teams. Pretty neat to watch them go in and out. The floating dock is pretty easy to launch and come in on. And we've seen some nice wildlife in these areas. The bathrooms are also solid-fairly new and kept clean.

For lunch, it's great to eat a picnic lunch! Particularly visited by Workers in big trucks. (I didn't see any kids here.)
The kiddie climbing area structure is nice.
However, the swings are awful!!
This is a very HOT park (with only shade in the picnic area).
It is very relaxing to come sit on the ramp dock to get away from life stress.
Thankfully, there are lavatories and they are functional!

Great place to launch kayaks and paddle boards. Was deserted on a Saturday a little after noon. Maybe because it was a windy day but the canal to the left is sheltered from the wind and is a great place practice paddle boarding when the water is too rough elsewhere. A short canal in the other direction takes you to the Banana River.

Clean and easy for any paddle lover! Dolphins and manatees are almost always there

Great location to launch your kayak!

Great place to Kayak! Park provides several nice picnic settings by the water & yachts.

Lovely park with great views and woodpe kers. Cute little brackish river and very clean playground and bathrooms.

It is a great public access for kayaks, paddle boards and rowing boats. Very nice dock for access, playground for children and pavilion for lunch.
