Confirmed from Eichelman Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Quaint park offering a beach & views of Lake Michigan, plus trails, a playground & flower garden.

“Family-Friendly Amenities (⭐⭐⭐⭐) Eichelman Park caters to families with a range of amenities.”
Serenely beautiful place. Walking areas that are friendly to all ages. Abundance of park benches so you can take in the view. Pet friendly park and lots of space for children and there's a play area as well.
Our first time visiting. Beautiful place to enjoy a walk along the waterfront
We love this quiet beach. It’s usually just a few families at a time, and there are bathrooms and swings for the kids to play on. I like seeing the joggers and the dogs walking along the lakefront. We generally find easy parking on the street and bring snacks to eat at one of the picnic tables.
