Discover

Grab your binoculars to take in amazing bayfront and nature views at one of Sweetwater Park's overlooks. The park features built-in wildlife blinds to help observers blend in and reduce interference with wildlife and their natural habitat.

Wonder

Many of us know of the wishbone as a symbol of good fortune. For birds, the wishbone’s primary function is to help it withstand the Rigors of Flight.

Visit Sweetwater Park to see the 25-foot tall sculpture by artist Roberto Salas and make a wish or be inspired by watching coastal birds take flight.

Observe

Sweetwater Park's oculus is a unique architectural feature allowing visitors to visually experience the power of the sun and changing seasons throughout the year.
