Playgrounds

Accessible playground at Nicolet Beach at Peninsula State Park.

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.

Volleyball

Two regulation-size sand volleyball courts are at Nicolet Beach. Nets are provided in the summer season, but visitors must bring their volleyball.

Tennis

Peninsula State Park offers a single paved tennis court across from the Skyline parking lot.
