Locals call this hilltop-dune playground the Enchanted Forest park for its often-foggy wooded setting, where a renovation added a 19-foot DNA climbing structure, basket swing, rolling arches, and spring discs built with repurposed logs and natural materials. It rewards climbers with magnificent views.
