Neighborhood parks and Elvis' favorite roller coaster at Beach Bay Amusement Park
Olde North has three neighborhood parks nestled amongst the homes, all within walking distance of houses for easy access: Farlin Park, Eastman Park and Bayview Park. These parks offer playgrounds and basketball courts, though Bayview also has a baseball diamond, and Farlin has an open field perfect for soccer or picnics. Olde North Community Garden encourages people to rent plots and exercise their green thumbs with vegetable and flower gardens.

Sitting along Lake Michigan, Bay Beach is owned by the city, so entry is always free. Instead, residents must pay for the individual rides, which usually only cost $1 each. Zippin Pippin is an old-fashioned wooden rollercoaster originally from Memphis and rumored to be Elvis Presley’s favorite.
