Coast Guard Park Playground

If you’re not from St. Ignace, you’d probably drive right past this one. It sits in a quiet neighborhood away from the tourist traffic that clogs up the main drag near the bridge, which honestly is half the appeal. Not a lot of frills here, but that’s fine — sometimes you just want a low-key spot where your kids can run around without fighting the crowds. Locals know about it, out-of-towners mostly don’t, and that’s exactly what keeps it good.
