点评:We were in town for a long weekend of sightseeing; one of the attractions that caught our attention was Lori Wilson Park, "a picturesque retreat with a beach." Located along a busy stretch of N. Atlantic Ave., in Cocoa Beach, this park is an oasis once you arrive. The park features a clean public restroom, picnic tables, a dog park where many dog owners were gathered on a Saturday morning and lots of free parking.
The park features a "I Dream of Jeannie Way" street sign dating from the television sitcom starring Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman. The television series was set in and around Cocoa Beach. Ms. Eden visited Cocoa Beach in 1966 when the street sign was placed at Lori Wilson Park.
We live inland and were eager to see the beach but without the crazy numbers of people on the more well-known beaches such as Cocoa Beach, so walking down the boardwalk to the ocean was a delight. The ocean was angry that day, but that did not deter beach goers from enjoying the warm weather and beach activities. Lifeguard stations and rescue equipment are prominent along with flags indicating ocean conditions. On this day, the red flag was raised indicating rip tides. Chairs and umbrellas are available for rent.
Do not expect to see a lot of seashells, but we did see many tiny blue aquatic creatures that looked like jellyfish.
If you are seeking a quieter beach experience with no parking hassles or crowds, a nice dog park, and clean restrooms, Lori Wilson Park fits the bill.
翻译:我们在镇上度过了一个漫长的周末,观光游览;其中一个吸引我们注意的景点是 Lori Wilson 公园,它是“一个风景如画的海滩度假胜地”。这个公园位于可可海滩繁忙的 N. Atlantic Ave. 沿线,一到那里,就是一片绿洲。公园设有干净的公共卫生间、野餐桌、周六早上许多狗主人聚集的狗公园和大量免费停车位。
公园设有“我梦见珍妮路”路牌,该路牌的历史可以追溯到芭芭拉·伊登和拉里·哈格曼主演的电视情景喜剧。这部电视剧的拍摄地点是可可海滩及其周边地区。伊登女士于 1966 年访问了可可海滩,当时路牌被放置在 Lori Wilson 公园。
我们住在内陆,很想去海滩,但又不想去可可海滩等更知名的海滩上人山人海,所以沿着木板路走到海边是一种享受。那天海面波涛汹涌,但这并没有阻止海滩游客享受温暖的天气和海滩活动。救生站和救援设备显眼可见,还有指示海洋状况的旗帜。在这一天,红旗升起表示激流。椅子和遮阳伞可供出租。
不要指望能看到很多贝壳,但我们确实看到了很多看起来像水母的蓝色小水生生物。
如果你想要一个更安静的海滩体验,没有停车麻烦或人群,一个漂亮的狗公园和干净的卫生间,Lori Wilson Park 就是你的不二之选。
