This park is right next to the channel. Lots of shade trees, playground equipment, toilets, picnic tables. Be aware you now have to purchase a daily or yearly parking pass. It is a $30 ticket if they catch you without one.

It was nice to sit and watch the boats going by and the ferry had to wait for a large ship / barge to go through the channel (it said Lafarge on the side)

I absolutely love this park! Theres a picnic pavilion, a bath house with toilets, a playground, lots of picnic tables and plenty of parking and shade trees. Youre a quick walk to Pier Marquette Beach, a light house and the Silverside (submarine that can be toured). Walk out to the light house, tour the sub, watch the boats in the channel, or just relax and enjoy the park. Its a great place.

Our first picnic this year. Watched one lonely boat in the channel, and shared our lunch with a sea gull. Such a pretty day as we enjoyed the gazebo on the channel. Our favorite get away.

The park had what we needed today - a clean-ish restroom, equipment for the kids to play on and a shady tree under which to have a picnic. The picnic tables here are pretty shot and need replacing. One of them had a big hole burned into it. The restroom does not have a diaper changing station. Other than that its a nice place to play.

Beautiful little park just northwest of Pere Marquette park. Adjacent to the Muskegon channel. This park has grass, charcoal barbecue grills, playground equipment, bathrooms, picnic tables, and beautiful shade trees. Being adjacent to two lakes (Lake Michigan and Muskegon lake) normally means nice breezes. Free parking is available although sometimes scarce. Weekends tend to be crowded. Close to two beaches, and a seasonal restaurant. The historic Muskegon lighthouse is nearby as well, sometimes open for tours. Just west of the park is the USS Silvers ides submarine Museum (admission required). All in all, a great place for a relaxing day.

For those that dont like the nearby Pere Marquette beach, this might be a better place to go. This park has a nice view of the Channel, the passage of water between Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan. Here, you can see ships passing between those two lakes. It is also a nice place to go fishing.
