Shaw Park Access

If gate is open you can park pretty close but will need to walk down a crushed wall path, walk between a few large rocks, and down maybe 10 stairs. There is an accessible kayak launcher down there but I feel like the path can be rough to get down.

It is very open and there is a beach. Kayak rentals are available there as well
