Petoskey Waterfront

Bayfront Park is the primary feature and activity center of the Petoskey waterfront. The major goal of the park development is to provide increased public access to Little Traverse Bay and to establish an effective pedestrian and functional linkage between the waterfront and the renown downtown “Gaslight” shopping district. Improvements to the park were funded primarily by local sources through the Petoskey Tax Increment Finance Authority, with State of Michigan participation through the Waterways Division and Recreation Services Division of the Department of Natural Resources and a total project commitment of up to five million dollars.

Main features of the park include a central promenade linking the downtown to the City pier, marina and waterfront walkway; waterfront playground, softball tournament field, rivermouth boardwalk, new City Hall and Public Service Buildings, open picnic and activity greens, and arboretum. Services provided by our firm included design, engineering and construction administration for all park facilities, roads, utilities and shoreline stabilization.
