We used to go to Colbert Park -- take the trace off Gunwaleford Road and turn right (toward MS) and once you cross the bridge the park is to the right. I think that was the name of it. Havne't been there in years so it may not be as nice as it used to be.

Also, if you know anyone on Sunset Beach -- that was a great place to play back in the day.
I can tell you why!
The undercurrent is so swift at times, (and yes, even at the designated swimming area at McFarland), that it will pull you right under & you won't resurface until you've made it to 7 mile island!
Especially if there are barges running up or down the river, or the spillways have been open.

I personally know of 2 grown men (on separate occasions) who were swept under and drowned.
Both of their bodies were found at 7 mile, beaten & battered by the current & rocks.

It's Dangerous! Even for the most advanced swimmer!
