Back Bay Park

"Had a nice picnic at this park. The setting is beautiful. There is a large green space, shady picnic tables and a large playground for the little ones. There is a giant Linden Tree which was in bloom and the flowers smelled amazing."

"Beautiful small neighborhood park located steps from Lake Michigan. The park is filled with old amazing oak trees, and it gives the feeling of an enchanted forest. Its the perfect park for relaxing on a picnic blanket, playing catch or having lunch. The playground equipment is geared towards younger children and is fantastic. They have swings, a slide and also monkey bars. The park is super clean and they offer plenty of park benches throughout. If in the area, I recommend visiting. The park is dog friendly."

"It's a good place to do a night walk with you and other you can see Halloween decoration Christmas decorations it's a nice place for a walking an fill the wonderful breeze you also see the lakefront the great place to just enjoy a peaceful walk"

"Really peaceful park with a nice jungle gym for kids. Lots of space, and it’s so well kept."

"This park didn't impress me very much at all...but it is a little known park I believe. It would be a good place to go if you wanted to be by yourself as I don't think many people know about this park. It's located up at the top of a steep hill and there are steps that go up there. Yes, it has a kiddie play area that seems to have a few people there but there are large expanses of grass too...and park benches. One thing I didn't like at all is that the one bench had a huge pile of brush right in front of it? It almost looked like someone had piled it there? I mean you are up at the top of a tall hill but you can't actually SEE anything from the bench because you would be only staring at these sticks! There are other benches further to the south but they really don't seem to have a view either? Lots of trees, brush and greenery. But it would be a great place to be alone. This park does have a Little Free Library in front of it and it was well stocked with books during my visit. There is another park down below this one if you go down the very long wooden stairs. The stairs are in good condition but it can be quite the climb. I am also very uncertain if the park below is part of this park or if its a different park? But since the tennis court below has the name mckinley I presume the park below is mckinley as well...so this review only applies to the park up above on the hill. Oh...there is a lookout just north of the park. You can see the lake but you have to stand. No place to sit at this lookout."
