The Village of Mackinaw City has transformed the water tower and sanitary sewer lift station site into a very appealing waterside park. The park provides views of Mackinac Island, the marina, and the Mackinac Bridge.

The park, located on Lake Huron, provides picnic facilities and a playground for children as well as a carving of Chief Wawatam, one of the Village’s forefathers. Both residents and guests use Wawatam Park.

A detailed inventory is as follows:
