Visitors can picnic and fish from either the beach or the seawall along the Matanzas River on the park’s west boundary.
A number of short trails are perfect for hiking and bicycling, and a visitor center offers opportunities for learning about the park’s natural and cultural resources.
Washington Oaks hosts several annual events, including an Earth Day celebration, Holiday in the Gardens and saltwater fishing clinics. First Friday Garden and History walks along with Second Saturday Plant Sales are monthly events enjoyed by the community and first-time visitors.
Hiking, birding, fishing, strolling or spending a day at the beach – Washington Oaks offers something for everyone!
