Picnic Areas and Shelters

Peninsula State Park has picnic areas at Fish Creek (near the park headquarters), Nelson Point, Nicolet Beach and Pines Area, Eagle Terrace, Weborg Point and Welcker's Point. All areas have picnic tables, charcoal grills and vault toilets. Weborg Point, Welcker's Point and Nicolet Beach each have a large group grill. Water and flush toilets are available at Nicolet Beach and Weborg Point in season (typically mid-May to mid-October). Garbage and recycling containers are not provided, so please remember to practice carry-in/carry-out.  

Pets are not allowed at any picnic areas or in the shelters. A designated pet picnic area is at the Pines Area near Nicolet Beach.

Playgrounds

An accessible playground at Nicolet Beach opened in 2022 thanks to fundraising efforts by the Friends of Peninsula State Park. The playground offers an accessible surface and accessible playground equipment, including a flush-mounted merry-go-round for users of all abilities and a universal swing. The playground also features universal interactive ground elements like a rain wheel and music activities.

There is also an activity center at Tennison Bay campground. Swings are available at the Fish Creek picnic area.
