A nice little park. It was a cold and windy day when we stopped by for a walk, but you can tell it is a well-kept park. Lots of parking, beach access, and a playground. There is also access to the pier to see the light house.

Beautiful day at the Coast Guard Festival!

Beautiful park right on the Grand River. Some of Grand Havens interesting history is revealed on the signs here.

Spend the day having a great time at Escanaba Park and nearby attractions. Read up on the coast guard history. Enjoy pronto pups, ice cream, or the local Butchs Beach Burritos. I was lucky when I pulled up as a car was leaving, or I would have had to park across the street or down near the beach as there are only 10 parking spots. Enjoy a mile walk along the waters edge to the red lighthouse and relax at the beautiful and sandy beach. I recommend walking the dune behind Butchs and setting up a hammock to see a great view. You can walk further into the woods along the right side and climb another dune to have full vision of the river, escanaba park, and view the farther away dunes at Hoffman state park. Great family adventure or you can take your date for a full day of fun!

Nicest little park in grand haven great place to fish and enjoy the bay

Beautiful place very clean the boardwalk awesome!

Another one of the many nice parks here.

This is a nice little park along the channel. There is a memorial tribute to the Coast Guard cutter Escanaba that was based in Grand Haven and sunk in WWII. We came during the Coast Guard festival, and this is also the place where Coast Guard ships are docked for people to tour.

Very nice park for walking along the Grand River, watching boats coming and going to Lake Michigan, watching people too. Has benches along the way and even some occasional shade. Good transition from state park beach/campground to city river front. Was there for the annual Coast Guard celebration which was fantastic. Would give it a 5 if it had a restroom nearby. Saw a few porta-potties that looked like they were added for the event (but not sure about that).

Love sitting and watching the boats go by ...

Beautiful!

Nice place to be alone and watch the boats come in.

Lovely memorial to the Coast Guard cutter Escanaba and her crew. Beautiful setting along the Grand River channel.

Awesome experience

I thought it was cool

This is where the large ships dock during the Coast Guard festival and it has a small memorial where you can sit on the stairs and people watch.
