Waterfront Park & City Dock

Waterfront Park
Waterfront Park is one of the most popular civic and social gathering places for island residents and visitors. It welcomes annual festivals, summer performances, special events, picnics, music performances, and more. It provides sunny lawn areas for play and relaxation and easy access to the water's edge for boating and tranquil views of Eagle Harbor.

Amenities
The 5.5-acre park also supports a children's play area. Waterfront Park is bordered by the downtown area featuring a wide range of restaurants, businesses and retail stores within walking distance.

Park
Waterfront Park is open for day use only and is located on Eagle Harbor off Brien Drive (across from the Senior Community Center).
