Accessibility is a priority at Pere Marquette Park. The park offers an accessible walkway, restrooms, picnic tables, and amenities such as a restaurant, snack bar, and on-site kiteboarding rentals and lessons. For beachgoers, there are lifeguard equipment and sand volleyball courts to keep things safe and active. When you’re planning a visit, consider parking at the park’s south end along the Lakeshore Trail and be aware that beach parking passes are now in use (license-plate based) with options for residents. The park connects to the Lakeshore Trail, making it easy to combine a waterfront stroll with a longer trail experience.

For events, Pere Marquette Park has hosted a variety of community gatherings. Notably, the Burning Foot Beer Festival historically took place here, though in 2026 it moved to Heritage Landing due to erosion and space considerations.
