Public Design Review: New Waterfront Park

The City of Muskegon is inviting residents, businesses, community organizations, and others to help shape the future of a new 3.12-acre waterfront park along Muskegon Lake, adjacent to the Shoreline Inn. More than 20 years after the community first envisioned a waterfront destination connecting downtown Muskegon to the lake, that vision is taking shape.

At this community input event, attendees can visit the future park site, review two conceptual plans, walk the property, and share ideas about what they would like to see in the new park. Get creative and design your own park!

Participants will have the opportunity to use a provided activity sheet and drawing utensils to sketch out their own ideas for the future waterfront park. Whether you envision places to gather, play, relax, enjoy the shoreline, or connect with Muskegon Lake, your ideas can help inform the park’s future.

The future waterfront park is envisioned as a welcoming gathering place that connects downtown, Muskegon Lake, and the existing bike path, with opportunities for recreation, enjoying the shoreline, and connecting with the water. Event details: Date: Tuesday, October 20 Time: 5:00–6:30 p.m.
