The Colington Harbour soundfront park is located on a peninsula next to the Clubhouse and swimming pool. Surrounded by the marina on the South and by Roanoke Sound / Albemarle Bay on the North, the park features sandy beaches, picnic areas shaded by live oaks, and playground equipment for children. The park is open from dawn to dusk daily.
The swimming area is designated by ropes and buoys. The gentle slope and shallow water offer more safety for young children since there is rarely any strong wave action.
Other amenities in the park include a large picnic shelter, playground equipment, and bulkhead areas perfect for crabbing and fishing. The picnic shelter may be rented by (or sponsored by) a Colington Harbour Association member in good standing, by completion of a pavilion rental application, payment of fee ($25 for 4 hours, $50 for a full day), and approval of the Association.
