Lake Antoine Park Community
Playground
The Lake Antoine Park Partners recognize
the need for a more accessible play space
at Lake Antoine Park in Dickinson County.
For this reason, we have set our sights on
creating an accessible playground for all
ages and abilities to enjoy.
The updated playground will add 3,100
square feet to the two existing play
structures at the park. A cushioned
synthetic turf surface will underlay the
equipment. New paved handicapped
parking spaces will be added, as well as a
concrete sidewalk connecting the space to
the Beach House.
Additions to the playground will include
two zero-transfer pieces, meaning a
wheelchair user can roll right onto the
equipment to use it. Sensory panels,
communication boards, a music station
and other accessible playground
equipment will be added to provide users
with a variety of motions and sensory
input. It is our dream that all generations
will be able to utilize this space and enjoy
Lake Antoine Park together.
We invite you to be part of this legacy in
our community! Click our Everyone Plays!

Past Project: Sunset Beach
Lake Antoine Park Partners (LAPP), in
keeping with its mission to improve and
promote Lake Antoine Park, would like to
restore the built and natural features of
the beach house lake frontage, including a
historic sunset viewing area. The project
name, “Sunset Beach,” will offer an
accessible location to highlight one of the
community’s best natural assets: the Lake
Antoine sunsets.
In the center of the Park's shoreline, in
front of the beach house, will be revitalized
with a 150' long boulder retaining wall,
new concrete walkways, a picnic area,
native landscaping, and a seating area for
sunset viewing. All the components of this
area will be ADA accessible to welcome
visitors of all abilities to the beachfront
area. Handicap parking is available at the
adjoining roadside.
LAKE ANTOINE PARK PARTNERS
DICKINSON COUNTY, MI
Over the past five years, we have drawn
thousands of people to the park with large
community events, encouraging new and
off-season usage. LAPP feels these events
bring a sense of community to the park and
encourage users outside the typical
camping and boating season.
