Great park overlooking Lake Michigan in Port Washington, with plenty of slides for kids to explore, and enjoy. There's also a restroom, and plenty of parking available. Right across the park is a stairway which takes you all the way down to the beach. There's also a picnic shelter adjacent to the parking lot, and a volleyball court.

Upper Lake Park in Port Washington, Wisconsin, USA is a picturesque place which offers an excellent view of the majestic Lake Michigan. One can drive a car to the top of this small hill on a bluff at the shore of the huge Lake Michigan with its deep blue water with occasional white sailed yachts. There are facilities for playing like a slide and a swing or places to have a picnic. The park is covered with green foliage during spring and summer, when lots of wild flowers grow. From the park one can have a beautiful bird's eye view of the harbour and the lighthouse of Port Washington. In summer, one can see a large number of birds, especially the Red Winged Blackbird and sea gulls. The park offers year round activities like Fish Day Celebration, 5K Race, Car Shows etc. There are a number of picnic areas.

My family and I had a great time here. For a while, we were the only people here, then one other couple arrived. Definitely not busy and plenty of room to run around. My two kids who are 7 and 9 had a blast! One note, there are two ways to get to the beach. You can park next to the water treatment facility and walk down. It is a bit of a long walk to get there, but probably the easiest option. Or you can go up the hill past the water treatmeant facility and walk down the stairs. Note. There are A LOT of steps. Going back up would not be much fun. Haven't been here on the weekend so I am not sure if it gets busier, but a weekday for us was awesome and we will be returning.

One of the best favourite places where we go for enjoying the views and just relaxing mind, it's a very clean and beautiful places Beach was clean and was not much crowded. Have to take stairs if parked at upper lake park. Another parking is available on downtown side which also has beach access.The park is covered with green foliage during spring and summer, when lots of wild flowers grow.
