Tawas City Parks & Recreation

 

Tawas City Park

Adjacent to Town Square Park, this park's recreational identity comes from the 450 foot long pier. The presence of the pier encourages active (fishing) as well as passive (benches) recreational opportunities. Aside from the pier, Tawas City Park is also equipped with beach volleyball courts and several concrete playground animals. Tawas City Park is host to the Fourth of July Firework Show, the Annual Shoreline Arts & Crafts Show on Memorial Day Weekend and the Annual Labor Day Arts & Crafts Show on Labor Day Weekend. These events attract thousands of visitors.

Town Square Park

Town Square Park was constructed shortly after this lakefront property was purchased from two gas stations in the early 1990's. This park is adjacent to Tawas City Park, giving the community nearly 1,500 linear feet of uninterrupted shoreline. Town Square Park includes a small open air building that is used for weddings, concerts and other events. This park also includes a memorial honoring Lt. William Bowen, a Tawas City resident that died while serving his country in the South Pacific in World War II.

Gateway Park

Gateway Park was constructed in 1982 with the purpose of stabilizing, beautifying and preserving river mouth property for public access and multi-recreational use. It was named Gateway Park because it is virtually the first major regional exposure to Lake Huron coastal system. In addition, Gateway Park has several concrete playground animals that were constructed by a local artist.
