The recent addition is the Bioswale, which is a bio-retention mechanism to treat stormwater runoff from hard surfaces like sidewalks, rooftops, driveways, and roadways. It helps prevent erosion, thereby improving native plant life that is necessarily important for the food and habitat of local wildlife. You also get to witness the local wildlife and diversity in the park and at the beach.
Some of the native plants you get to see while you stop by the Bioswale at the Bayfront Park are Cabbage Palm, Railroad Vine, Mangrove Spider Lily, Trailing Poterweed, and Sea Purslane. It mainly offers a variety of experiences for people spending time alone as well as with family or friends.
