About This Beach
Ski Beach Park is a 2-acre lakeside recreation area on the south shore, right next to Meadow Park. This family-friendly destination offers a perfect combination of beach access and park amenities. The sandy beach and swimming area provide unguarded lake access, while the fishing pier extends into the water for anglers. The paved walking path connects to other nearby trails, ideal for leisurely lake-view strolls. Families appreciate the well-maintained playground, sports courts, and ball fields. Numerous picnic tables and BBQ grills are strategically placed near the water's edge with shaded spots. A standout feature is the dog-friendly atmosphere - dogs welcome on-leash throughout, with an adjacent off-leash dog park (Bark Park) where pups can run freely. Includes water fountains, seating areas, poop bag stations, and clean restrooms. Free parking and wheelchair accessibility welcome all visitors.
