About Lions Park
The 13-acre Lions Park is located on the city of Sandusky’s west side north of the intersection of West Monroe and La Salle streets. Winnebago Avenue provides access to the park; however, signs mark the park’s entrance and parking at La Salle Street.

Lions Park provides traditional recreation activities, including picnic shelters and tables, playground equipment, restrooms and basketball courts. A steep bluff of concrete rubble leads the able-footed down to the 912-foot shore on Sandusky Bay. At times, depending on water levels and wind direction, the shore may have a narrow strip or pockets of mixed sand, cobble and invasive zebra and quagga mussel shells. Shore fishing is allowed; however, a sign near the water warns that access to the shore should be done at one’s own risk.

As of March 2010, the city is developing a new master plan for the park. The proposed plan includes transforming the waterfront to include an accessible public beach, long walking paths, a summer splash pad which will turn into a winter ice rink, an event lawn and potentially a boardwalk extending into the bay.

Lions Park debuted as Winnebago Park in July 1912 and became Lions Park in July 1928. It is the second park ever associated with the Lions Club International. From Lions Park (Coastal Access) webpage
