I grew up just a few blocks away from Lake Park. I used to sled in the ravines and just walk the paths, cross the bridges and enjoy everything associated with Lake Park. More

What better way to spend your birthday then sitting in the Bistro looking over the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan? Well the food inside rivaled the view outside. I enjoyed a wonderful three course meal and each course was superb. The entree was delicious. Our server was attentive and quite helpful in suggesting what might be pleasing to our palates.... More

Nice, Clean well kept park downtown. Enough amenties to keep people happy. Great mooring locations for boats. Scenic views from bluffs. At the very south end is the art museum and further south is the Maier Festival Park where the summer is filled with music at Summerfest and the ethnic festivals such as Irishfest. More
