McKenna Park

McKenna Park, also known as Shorewood Hills Beach, was one of the first parks established in the 1922 Shorewood plat and served as a major recreational destination with a beach, pier, and diving platform until the village built a swimming pool in 1970. The park's popularity declined after the pool opened, and today it is primarily used by anglers and for boat storage.
