The Lake Michigan vista from the high clay bluffs
are what make Virmond Park so unique. The
bluffs tower over the Lake Michigan shoreline at
a height of 90 to 110 feet and create amazing
views out over Lake Michigan. Virmond Park is
a great place to have a picnic or enjoy a game
of tennis or volleyball while the kids play on the
playground. The hiking and walking trails are
also host to cross-country running meets.

The County took on the task of developing the
park with the requirement of having an on-site
caretaker. The park has been managed to
include a diverse array of recreational activities
and wildlife habitat, so visitors of all ages can
gather and share in the beauty of Virmond Park.
In 1944, George Virmond donated beautiful
lakeshore land with the request of developing
a Park for all to enjoy. The 63-acre land was
donated to Ozaukee County. Virmond Park is
one of the oldest parks in the Ozaukee County
Park System.
