Where All The Magic Happens

Manistique Central Park- “The Jewel of Emerald City

“Located close to downtown and neighboring the High School Football field, Central Park has several things to keep you busy! This old rock quarry was transformed into a wonderful lake which includes a sandy beach for swimming, two fishing piers, and a ½ mile path surrounding it to take in the unique rock formation views. Outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts, and a large playground are just steps away along with baseball fields, an outdoor bandshell for live music and the Little Bear West Area facility which is used for a variety of events in the summer and winter months.”
