Small lakeside park with open lawns, mature trees and shoreline views of Lake Michigan — great for sunrise/sunset skies, long-exposure waterscapes, seasonal color and simple landscape compositions. Easy street parking on N 8th St, no entry fee; accessible paths but bring boots for muddy spring access. Best light at golden hour and calm mornings for reflections; weekends can be busier near the pier.
