Baylands Park provides over 70 acres of developed parkland offering recreation, pathways and picnic areas for families and large groups. There is an additional 105 acres of wetlands. There is an area reserved for flying Drones and remote controlled aircrafts. In fact this is my go to place to go and fly drone. Since it is hard to find places in California where they allow flying drones legally! There is an entrance fee of $6 for cars. Park has several huge picnic areas, kids play structures, accessible parking, accessible trails, drone flying area, a pier which is accessible, benches through out the park, accessible restrooms.
