Very interesting piece of history and gorgeous houses next to fantastic beaches.

Large free car park, and a nice pathway around a big wildlife filled pond. Walk along the sea wall or go off on one of the many desire line paths.

There is a large lake you can walk around and the perimeter of the park forms part of the England coast path. There are no public toilets and I didn't spot anywhere to buy food or drink. This used to be a military site and there are several structures you can look at, but none are open to go inside. There are information boards dotted around the park, explaining its military history. There are warning signs telling you to keep of the beach as there may be unexploded shells.

Amazing park with 5km of tarmacked and gravel multi-user paths,here you can walk with dog as well 🐕 also here is Picnic area and Outdoor play area. Here you can see couple the historic buildings and also descriptions of them 🤓🧐😌 Visit is accessible at all times🤩 and all year round 🤗 Important:😍 Free and nice car park for 50 🚗 cars open from dawn to dusk. Highly recommended 👌 👍 👏

This entire area of the coast was once the property of the Ministry of Defence, but has slowly been turned over to the council, who have stuck housing on most of it. One pocket of it was kept back as a nature reserve, Gunners' Park, a nice patch of greenery which joins the East Beach promenade. You can easily access the coast path from here, but there are dog restrictions on the beach. Your dog can only go on the beach from 1st October to the 30th of April. The centre point of the reserve is a large lake, with plenty of benches to sit on, and leftover brick buildings from the days of the military to sniff at. We've always found other dogs to say hello to, and my dog loves racing around the lake, dipping her toes in to the water and running through the long grass. You can look across the coast to Kent, into Southend at the famous pier, or head down the coast to Shoeburyness, which makes a longer walk of about three miles there and back. The path to Shoeburyness is concrete, so perfectly fine for pushchairs and wheelchairs, but you will be walking along roads at times, so you'll need a lead for those bits. There's even a play field for more off-lead time along the route. There are toilet facilities once you head along the coast path, and there's usually a static caravan selling hot food and drinks if the coastal breeze is a bit brisk. There is plenty of parking around, with a couple of official (free) car parks, although they're not massive. Plenty of car parking around the local streets, as long as you park considerately.
