Overview

It occupies a small urban footprint that provides public access to the lakeshore environment.

Insider tips

Bring a light windbreaker, as the open lakefront exposure creates significant temperature differences compared to the city interior.

Utilize the designated seating areas to avoid direct exposure to damp ground near the shoreline.
