Ludington Waterfront Park, Michigan, United States

Wonderful Green Space
The City of Ludington has created one of the best, relaxing, interesting water-front green spaces I have seen. In addition to well-maintained sidewalks and multiple benches, there is a sculpture trail that perfectly reflects the character of the area. Have a seat and watch the boats and if you have kids, there is a large playground. There is also a building housing clean public rest rooms. As you stroll the area, you can't help wonder how much it might cost to live in one of those condos.

What a wonderful park right in the heart of Ludington....
Though we have visited Ludington inumerable times over the years, we have never been in Waterfront Park. Located on Pere Marquette Lake, near the marina, it is a vast expanse of beautiful, thick green lawn, clean and neat sidewalks, some smaller shade trees, nice landscaping, a gazebo (too bad you can't sit in it-no benches), and some flowers here and there with great views of the lake, marina and boating traffic. There is an awesome playground for kids, parking (there should be more parking..), bathrooms, picnic tables, benches and even some night lighting. But it is also part of a sculpture park, with nine bronzed sculptures that represent life that is Ludington-past, present. Baseball, farming, lumbering, fishing, etc and they are really spectacular. We were so surprised and pleased to see these and really enjoyed our time walking around the 5 acre park taking in all the sculptures and views. We had a picnic under a couple of mugo pines, that provided excellent shade. There are grills located nearby. It was a very enjoyable afternoon for us and we will always make it a point to visit this park when in Ludington. It is very clean and pretty quiet!

Amazing features but covered in spiderwebs!
We decided to bring our kids here to check it out on a cloudy day over the weekend. We were disappointed because most of the play structures were covered in spider webs and spiders! We were there early in the morning and no one else was there. We were surprised to see all the webs. We were able to play on just a few things before my kids were too spooked and we were too. If the webs wouldn't have been there then it would've been wonderful. It has a smaller structure and a bigger one. It's right by the marina so a lovely location.
