Take advantage this summer of our beautiful park with a freshwater beach. With ample parking, close proximity and (best of all) no “beach traffic,” Gov. Notte Park is a wonderful alternative to South County Beaches. This quaint and peaceful park boasts a ball field, tennis courts, swings for small children, and a rustic, serene feel that makes you forget that you are only minutes from the “hustle and bustle” of Mineral Spring Avenue! Our American Red Cross and State-Certified Lifeguards and friendly staff are on duty starting July 1st for safe swimming and paddle boat rentals.

Labor Day Weekend
On Monday, September 7th, 2009, Governor Notte Park beach closes at 6:00PM for the season.
