Robert K Rees Memorial Park

This is a marvelous little park to go and enjoy the quiet surroundings. You can sit on the beach, swim, fish, have a picnic or just walk on the boardwalk they have for the Birding Trail. Go during the week as the weekends usually have large crowds. they have a pavilion they rent out for birthdays, weddings, etc. The bathrooms are very clean. Park all day for $ 2. Remember to bring the correct change. Everything is automated.

Very small park. Nice place for a picnic but not for a ‘beach’ day.
Large covered pavilion that can be rented for a group picnic — several (7 – 8) picnic tables and a large charcoal grill pit. Very small roped-​off shallow swim area — okay for small children but not at all for adults. Cement wall drop-​off (maybe 3 feet high) to get down to the beach area (unless you wanted to walk down to the side to get to the small sandy beach) seems like an accident waiting to happen. Outdoor bathrooms were typical and a small playground area.
$ 2 all-​day parking.

Nice little park on the Gulf at the end of Green Key Road in New Port Richey. There is a smallish beach area, boardwalk trail and an information kiosk. It’s a nice place for a picnic. The water is pretty shallow and gets a bit warm and mucky in the summer. This is a nice spot for an escape. Parking is $ 2.

What a nice quiet park that was excellent to watch the sunset! Clean bathrooms and get this… cold water from the water fountain! Very clean. Only two dollars to park.

Um… I don’t know what to say. You have to see it to believe it… If you are looking for a relaxing day on the beach. Not so much water was gross mud everywhere …

What a nice State Park! It’s not clearly marked, so you need to keep your eyes peeled for Green Key Road. It look residential, but just keep driving and you’ll dead end into the park!
It costs $ 2 per car to park. Tip: to easily get your parking validation, drive up to the kiosk at the entrance of the park. Pay and get your hang tag, then you can drive and find your parking spot. Sometimes you have to park quite far away, so this method saves you quite a bit of walking.
Once you enter the park, to your right is a very nice play area w/​a, very cold water, shower area. Over to left is a large clean restroom facility and a small pavilion where a concession stand is set up. Further towards the beach and to your left is a large pavilion with picnic tables. Further over to your left is a beach area that extends to the water. A swimming area is roped off, but it’s very shallow, so it’s more of a wading area.
This was a really lovely park/​beach and even when it was «crowded» it didn’t feel like there were too many people there. A bonus was how friendly everyone was!
