Formerly known as Lake Michigan Park, this 2.5 miles of city-owned beach is one of the cleanest in the USA. It borders the Muskegon Channel which links Muskegon Lake and Lake Michigan. In 1890, a tramway company owned the land and turned it into a day trippers' destination. Over time, pavilions, theaters, a dance hall, Ferris wheel and roller coaster were added. Holiday cottages sprung up around the park.

Motor cars became popular and the park's appeal declined. The 30 year lease ran out and the wooden structures sustained water damage so were torn down. It is still a popular beach for swimming and water sports. Amenities include restaurants, picnic spots and a beach volleyball court.
