    I love that this park is fenced. One way in; one way out. There’s a lot to do for all ages. It’s picturesque setting tops it off. Finally, very clean bathroom facilities

    We walk around the port whenever we visit Port Washington. We have family that lives near enough to take a walk from their house to the port and we love to walk around the whole area. There is a walk out to a lighthouse area. It kind of scares me because I lack balance and don't want to fall, but it is pretty cool to be out there. I wouldn't do it on a windy or stormy day, that's for sure. That is only one part of the walk. There is a lot of steps to gain just around the marina. They have a nice bathroom there as well.

    This beach is kind of tucked in right adjacent to the power plant, but is a nice little beach where you can enjoy Lake Michigan and spend a lot of time skipping stones into the lake if it isn't too wavy. We were the only ones there in December, and the parking lot is fairly small, so it may be busier in the summer. All in all, a very nice little beach.

    I visited the Bird Sanctuary while visiting the Coal Dock Park on a daytrip to Port Washington. It is a small but beautiful preserve of land right on the shores of Lake Michigan. The pedestrian-only path through the wooded area provides a nice view of Lake Michigan, South Beach, and Port Washington Marina. Though ample warning signs of shore dangers were posted, there were not any kind of bird information placards posted along the path. Nevertheless I enjoyed my walk in the sanctuary. Depending on the season I believe ample birds will be present in the sanctuary and on the lake waters. The Coal Dock Park which is right adjacent to the sanctuary can be reached after walking across a beautiful bridge.

    I visited the Veterans Memorial Park on a daytrip to Port Washington.  It is a lovely park on the shores of Lake Michigan, and is easily accessible by means of a short walk on the Harborwalk from downtown.  There is a nice memorial statue in the park, but the salient feature is the Bandshell.  Though there was no activity scheduled there during the weekday afternoon of my visit, it is a popular gathering place for the city.  I enjoyed my walk in the park. The scenery of the lake, the woodlands, and the hills was very beautiful.
