This family-friendly sandcastle contest is an opportunity to indulge your creativity with a sand creation. Teams will have two hours to build their sand castles, after which, the participants, spectators, and park staff will vote for their favorite creations. Prizes will be awarded for first, second, and third place in the general vote, as well as a judges’ choice award for the staff favorite. Parking and participation for this event are free. Some sand castle building tools will be available to borrow, but it is recommended to bring your own if possible. Teams may begin registering at 9:45am; build time is from 10am – noon, and prizes will be awarded at 1pm.
