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:
Wawatam Park has accessible routes, including paved walkways, and accessible drinking fountains. However, many of the interpretive displays are located in grassy areas as are picnic tables, park benches, and playground equipment. The beach is not accessible for disabled individuals, and the parking area does not have any designated spaces for disabled individuals.
