Memorial Beach Park — Attraction in White Bear Township

The Memorial Beach Park is a nice location to hang out for an afternoon in the summer. It has a small, sandy beach and remains quite shallow pretty far out, so it is a really safe swimming area for the kids and family. There are a couple of picnic tables available as well and a volleyball area set up to one side. I will say that there are no swimming markers out in the water, so this year there has been a significant number of boats pulling up and anchoring off shore. This has made the swim area more crowded and noisy, has increased the amount of debris in the water and, in my opinion, has made the beach a little harder to enjoy with kids and family than in the past.

Another great feature is the shower and foot washing station. You can easily clean your feet or rinse off. Quick walk from downtown and a quaint beach that is right on...

Nice beach, especially for little kids. Shallow a long way out, hard sand bottom, clean lake with no fishy odors.

Parking is on street (parallel parking) around park above and limited; one way traffic on 2 sides makes getting there a bit challenging. There is a road/walking trail dividing beach from the park above and quite an decline, with ramp for handicapped or strollers. Features grassy shaded areas under trees and sandy Beach to build castles in, also had a volleyball court with grass. No...
