About Virmond Park

Virmond Park sits on wooded land donated in 1944 and now spans about 63 acres. Its clay bluffs rise roughly 90 to 110 feet above the Lake Michigan shoreline, giving wide lake views. Visitors can walk or hike through nature preserve areas, play volleyball, baseball, soccer, tennis, or pickleball, use the playground, or rent a shelter for a picnic. A public staircase to the lake opened in 2023, and the park also lies within an Important Bird Area.
