Fort Howard Park

"Very beautiful park that also has a few historical views on it. Lots of room for multiple families to enjoy picnicking and enjoying whatever else they may have some interest in. From volleyball, fishing, walking, exploring, playing Frisbee, or just chilling. Big park with plenty of room for everyone."

"This is a cool park with an awesome piece of history and great views to enjoy. The paths are pretty nice to walk."

"Very nice park. Loop style hiking route to see the old fort ruins, 2 small playgrounds, pavilions, grills, water access. Fishing ,biking, family park. And in October its turned into "the dungeons" a haunted house attraction (at least it was 4 years ago lol) *No swimming or camping."

"Honestly a fascinating place to visit. Great view of the water, plenty of picnic tables, pavilions, grills, two small playgrounds for kids, etc. But what really shines are the old buildings from the fort. The different buildings were a joy to explore and quite creepy with their dark and ominous nooks and crannies. The stairs are STEEP and small to get around most of the ruins but there's only a few dotted around with hand rails so it's not too bad. Parents beware, the excessive graffiti contains curse words and adult imagery and is all over most of the buildings. Overall the buildings, forest, and picnic area have three very different vibes that work in a weird sort of harmony as the cool wind from the bay washes over it all."

"I really love this place. Both it and North Point State park (which is right down the street) are both criminally overlooked in the local area. The historical structures are cool, but the park and waterfront itself are the real reason. There’s beautiful views of the Bay a short paved walk from the parking lot. And if you want to go exploring , there are several tiny trails to waterfront areas, a short walk away. If you wind up not getting into North Point because it’s full, you should definitely drive here."
