The park area features century-old oak trees that provide natural shade over the public picnic lawns.
Neptune Park is a public waterfront facility located on the southern tip of St. Simons Island. The complex features a zero-entry swimming pool and a dedicated play pool for children. A primary highlight includes its high-velocity water slides designed for all ages. The park grounds integrate directly with the island's oceanfront boardwalk and beach access points. The site is part of the broader Neptune Park area, which includes public greenspace and picnic facilities. Visitors have access to permanent lounge chair arrangements for poolside relaxation. The facility operates under the management of Glynn County Recreation and Parks.
