This park is the most beautifully designed, and my kids absolutely loved it. I’m not from here, but i definitely recommend. It was worth the drive.

This park is so quaint and clean. Very family friendly atmosphere! Michigans tallest glad pole is located here also. Walking distance to downtown New Baltimore where there is a bakery, ice cream shop and other cute shops. I would really recommend this also for fishing and swimming.

I visited for the weekend and in the short two days I spent in the area, this was the highlight. After a relatively lame first night, the second day was starting to look bad. I brought a half ounce of good kush for the occasion but the folks I stayed with were no good for fun. Their preference, as it appeared, was to stay inside and do nothing of note. This could not stand. After a near full 24 hours in the region I desperately needed to go home. Thats when I found this park. I didnt realize how close I was to home. The water waited patiently for me as I made my way to its edge. As poor a time as I may have had among the humans, they showed me kindness by returning me to the water. This day, Id be letting those of my species know: the humans are not all bad.

Wonderful park on Lake St. Clair. Play area for children, benches, pavillion for activities and more. On Sundays May - October there is a farmers market with fresh produce, baked goods, crafts and often food trucks. Great place to spend an afternoon.

This is the best place to take your children! Its quaint, clean, nice people, and clean bathrooms. They also have picnic tables, grassy areas, and plenty of shade with mature trees. Great beach!

Nice little beach. Pretty busy even in COVID times and it was before noon on Saturday. Playground looked like fun. No pets allowed in the park. We came by boat and docked at the public dock. Wanted to get ice cream but those shops didnt open until noon.

This is such a beautiful part and is very well kept by the city and the massive flagpole with the biggest u.s. flag anywhere near here this park is beautiful and Serene even though the park employees can be kind of douchey its a great Park to take your kids and is always in top-notch shape

Bottom line: beautiful little park with great beach access! This would be a great place to take a family for the day. Besides the view and water, there is also convenient access to ice cream shops and convenience stores when you feel it is time spoil your kids or yourself.Simply a nice place to spend a day of good weather.

The water was so beautiful today!! I love walking out on the pier and breathing in the fresh air and taking in the view. This place does something good to my soul that only God can do with his earthly beauty.

Great little park on the water, I love stopping by to catch the sunset. Little beach in the summer, docks, boardwalk, huge pavilion, large field, playscape, right in downtown New Baltimore with plenty of shopping and food. Its also great in the winter!

This park is a little piece of heaven in New Baltimore, especially during covid time. My boyfriend and i would sit in our cars and look at the water and have lunch in our cars. When the restrictions were lifted a little, mu boyfriend and i went there and had a little picnic. The only thing thar suprised me was that now theres a sign that said no dogs. I really enjoyed watching the dogs play on the beach. Not sure what happened to put this in place. Curious for some answers about that. Overall, i enjoy going there.

The park was nice, well kept up, and at Coronna capacity today. I was pleased to see Michigans tallest flag, flag pole, the life guards on duty, and people playing volley ball, football, and scocer. A walk down the board walk was short, but relaxing, with a good view. In a word, nice.

This is a nice park with good play ground equipment. They also have the tallest flag pole in the mid-west I believe it said on the placard. It looks like there might be an area to swim in, but that should be double checked. What I found that I enjoyed the most was the quite & the spectacular view! It is gorgeous, Gaia at her best!

We had a family reunion in the building. It was small, but clean with plenty of outdoor seating, which was perfect for the buffet style meal. The park itself was beautiful. It was well kept and family friendly. Swimming in the water and fishing off the docks. There was also a beautiful play area for the children. Also very well kept. Would definitely go back if Im in the area!

What can i say, it is my home town park. It is very clean, safe and a wonderful place for children of all ages to play. The beach is a fun place to let the little ones swim and build sand castles. Great place to fish too. !! Bring a lunch and enjoy a day in New Baltimore. Many good places to eat within walking distance.

Its an awesome park, right up on the water. Theres a pier that goes into the lake, (but its still pretty shallow so dont dive in) theres a small Beach and a playground. Only thing thats missing is a basketball court!FMOI: @joeyshyordieAdd ne on snap: joey_shy123

Walter and Mary Burke Park is beautiful on Anchor Bay. Blue Water. Michigans tallest flagpole. Awesome. New Baltimore Art on the Bay was impressive. Very nicely put together. Entertainment by Square 3. Excellent acoustic trio. Hope theyll be back locally soon.
