This is a great park thats tucked back in one of the more affluent neighborhoods of Annapolis. You can drive, but if you rent bikes you'll enjoy taking in the beautiful waterfront houses before entering this park. The park is essentially a tiny peninsula with a great view of Thomas Point Lighthouse. Some folks use this as a fishing spot.
