Throughout summer months, the park hosts a number of free public events such as beach bonfires, the annual urban island beach party, bird and plant hikes, children’s fishing clinics, family nights, art in the park and educational discussions. Check the calendar frequently for upcoming programs!

If you are interested in scheduling a program for your community or school group, or are looking to host your own event on the property, please email angela.vickio@wisconsin.gov
