This is a great park. We visit when we are in the area. There’s a nice Gazebo to sit in and have a picnic or enjoy the shade. The park is in full sun, so plan accordingly. The ground is sandy, which is nice on the feet. The play equipment was mature enough for my 9 and 12 year olds.
Awesome park within 5 minutes of the Central Ave strip and Lake Huron. 2.5 yr old and 8 year old loved every part of the playground. We stayed at a local hotel and were able to walk to this park when we had 20 minutes to spare; perfectly centrally located.
A fantastic use of community land with a well-built old school playground. The sand is deep and soft. The climbers and slides work as intended!
Nice park for kids of all ages, including parents and grandparents can go and enjoy being outside with the kids. Loved the tires and different levels of playground for different ages. Nice and big even has a basketball court. Could use some more swings.
Nice park close to downtown Mackinaw City. It is big enough for older children to run and play and plenty of room for lots of kids. There is a half court basketball hoop. There are a lot of benches for adults to sit on and there is 1 functional drinking fountain. There is a covered Gazebo as well. Dog friendly and poop bag station on site as well as a bike rack. Play sand is plenty but semi rocky. Still comfortable to be barefoot though.
