WEDDINGS Lincoln Park, Lockwood Park and Pierce Woods park pavilions may be rented for wedding ceremonies and receptions. These locations are best suited for large ceremonies as each offer a pavilion, restrooms and sufficient parking. We also offer the North Beach Gazebo and Carre-Hogle Park for small ceremonies. Both of these locations offer views of Lake Michigan. North Beach Gazebo, 1501 Michigan Blvd., is located at the top of the hill off of Michigan Blvd. within North Beach Park. The gazebo may be rented in 3 hour increments for wedding ceremonies only. North Beach is a highly active park and so we caution soon to be brides & grooms to be prepared for the possibility of large crowds in the area. Large ceremonies are not recommended. The gazebo is located on a hill top which does not create an ideal situation for the set up of chairs for guests. No rent-ables permitted. The pavilion may not be reserved during scheduled public events. See frequently asked questions and the policies & procedures for additional information. Carre-Hogle Park, 1699 S. Main St., is a 2-acre passive use park located along the Lake Michigan shoreline in the southeastern portion of the City. Existing facilities include a picnic area and fishing. Though parking is very limited and the park does not have a pavilion or restrooms it is typically quiet, and does offer beautiful views of Lake Michigan. Rent-ables (chairs, etc.) are permitted though some restrictions apply. We do not recommend large or long ceremonies due to the lack of restroom facilities and the limited parking. This park is best suited for simple, small wedding ceremonies. PHOTOS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME Beach Weddings We do not reserve any portion of either of our beaches for private events. Should you wish to hold a ceremony on the beach itself, you do so at your own risk. North Beach is a highly active beach area and is not recommended for ceremonies due to the large crowds. Zoo Beach is a little less active though is still highly attended by beach goers. Privacy and/or a quiet setting is not likely going to occur. Set up of arbors, chairs, etc. &/or blocking off an area for exclusive use is not permitted.
