Situated on the shore of Lake Michigan, the park has trees, shrubs, and other plants native to this region of Wisconsin.

[1] The mayor of Cudahy, Wisconsin in 1913, Christ Woehsner, believed that a public park should be built on the shore of Lake Michigan.

In a letter,[clarification needed] he expressed his deep appreciation for the beauty that the area offered.

The letter led to the purchase of land near the shore of Lake Michigan from the landowner, Patrick Cudahy.

Adjacent to Lake Michigan, the park contains baseball/softball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a children's playground, a picnic area, part of the Oak Leaf Trail, and a pond.
