The 75 acre Titlow Park is one of five Signature Parks within MPT's system. It is characterized as providing a focus on the marine environment and shoreline habitat.
The park is popular for bird watchers (Barred Owl image at right by Connie Hardy), walkers, picknickers, summer camp goers, scuba divers and other recreational users.
The extensive beach frontage and estuary lagoon serve as the focal point to park visitors. Other site amenities include tennis and basketball courts, playfields, trails, playgrounds and picnic areas. The historic Titlow Lodge, formerly the Hotel Hesperides, constructed in 1911 is a central feature of the park.

SEALS/SEA LIONS ON THE BEACH
Do not disturb seals and sea lions - it's the law! If you see a seal on the beach, give it room - at least 100 yards. Dogs should be leashed and kept away. Do not feed seals fish bait as the next bait they find may have a fish hook in it. Chasing, tormenting, molesting, capturing or feeding these animals is harassment and is prohibited. If you see a marine mammal being harassed contact NOAA Fisheries Enforcement Hotline (1-800-853-1964). Harbor seals utilize shoreline locations as resting places (haul-outs) for several hours every day to regulate body temperature, interact with other seals and sleep. Seal pups are born in the spring and summer and need time ashore. If animal has been on the beach for 48 hours or is clearly in distress (injured) contact NW marine Mammal Stranding Network (1-800-853-1964).
PARK IMPROVEMENTS
Since the creation of a Master Plan for Titlow Park in 2010, a variety of improvements have been made - from trail and habitat restoration to a new playground and spray ground completed in September 2012.
