Anclam Park
Located on Lake Michigan along Highway 57 on the south end of town, Anclam Park is a wonderful place to bring the whole family or spend some contemplative time alone.
A picnic area with barbeque grills and picnic tables is nestled along the sand beach. Take a dip in the lake, have lunch, then walk it off with a stroll down the jetty for wonderful lake views. The jetty was once an 800-foot pier owned by John Anclam and used by the Hart and Hill Steamship Companies to load and unload supplies and ship timber in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. This is where the fireworks are lit off for the 4th of July celebration.
There is a small playground for the kids and you can keep an eye on them or watch the occasional wind surfer or kite boarder skimming across the harbor while resting on one of the many park benches provided.
For your convenience, there is plenty of parking, an informational kiosk, and a clean, accessible public rest room.
Kendall Park
Situated down town next to Town Hall, the Visitor Center, and McArdle Library, this park offers a place to rest after shopping, a place to eat that lunch to go or a place to picnic. A pavilion and picnic tables are provided and there is WiFi access thanks to the public library.
The kids will absolutely love the vast array of playground equipment. Slides, swings, teeter totter, merry-go round, and the oh so popular springy thingies to name a few will keep your children squealing with delight.
