Bluebird Park and Boat Ramp Keeps Water Access Simple

Bluebird Park and Boat Ramp is not trying to be a grand park. It is the small kind of water spot Orange County actually uses: a boat dock, a boat ramp, one large picnic pavilion with a barbecue pit, picnic tables, game tables, a small play area, and three small picnic pavilions. The address is 102 Farragut Avenue, off Simmons Drive in Orange.

Water access here comes down to a useful small set: a ramp, a dock, picnic roofs, game tables, and a playground. Bluebird needs no reservation, and its daily hours run from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM.

The walk-up landing works for a boat launch, lunch under a roof, or an unhurried stop beside the water.
