I use park to workout and it is regular uses by local for the same reason.
A lovely place to keep fit, opposite the beach with room and equipment for all.
This is a wonderful beach to visit and not many people know about it. First of all, get yourself a car as it's about 20 Km from Pattaya City. Pattaya has Beach Road, 2nd Road, 3rd Road and Sukkumvit Road all running parallel to each other. Drive up onto Sukkumvit Road and turn right, heading in the direction of the Floating Market on your left. Continue and pass Nong Nooch Garden also on your left.
Continue for about another 5 or so Km and you will see a large Military/Navy base on you right. Turn in here. A soldier will direct you to a passport hut on the left where you will give up one pasport per car. Usually the drivers passport. He will give you a pass so that you can collect your passport again at the end of the day.
Drive along the incredibly long road to the Beach ticket office where you will park your car and pay 100 Bhat per person for access to the beach. From here they will take you by truck/bhat bus up a very wyndy road for another 5Km and drop you off at the beach. On the road and by the entrance you will see many Monkeys. DO NOT FEED THEM. They're used to humans and are happy for you to get close enough for photographs. On the beach you will pay a deposit for a deck chair or mat.
Pick this up yourself and carry to the place you want to sit. There's plenty of food and drink on offer. There are boat trips, jet ski's and the mandatory banana boat experience. As this is a military training area, tourists must be out by 6pm. One thing I will say is the sand here is like powder compared to other beaches. Also, the water is crystal clear with no pollution whatsoever.
Also, Pattaya has a rule that on Wednesday's no deckchair traders can operate n this day. This is not true of Sai Kaew Beach. Deck chairs EVERY day. So, the perfect place to go on a Wednesday if you must have the chair/beach experience. Shade is provided by the trees so no umbrellas required. Yes, bit of an adventure to get there but worth well worth is.

Good place to offer Dana (offerings) to Monks at about 8am. There's beautiful ponds and stupas for great photos and sightseeing.
Peaceful for mind and body, wild area for taking a break.
You must come here. Please have 2-3 hours for visiting,
Super public park right on the beach.
Nice exercise equipment and playground.
