General Information
Burger Boat Company Park is an urban park that was created during reconstruction of the Eighth Street bridge. This 0.70 acre park abuts the south side of the Manitowoc River and provides passive recreation to residents and tourists within the downtown business district.
The park makes a great connection for the river and downtown walkway system and has benches, lighting, scenic vistas, a flagpole, and a fisherman’s wharf.
Ice Rink
The City of Manitowoc public ice skating rink is open for the 2021 season; however, it will be closed when temperatures are above freezing due to melting ice.
In winter, the 50' by 110' portable rink is set up on the west end of the Briess lot in the 700 block of Quay Street, which adjoins Burger Boat Park. There is no cost to skate; however, you must bring your own skates as skate rental is not available. Benches and picnic tables around the rink are available for those wishing to rest or change footwear. At times, the rink may be closed for certain periods, such as when temperatures are above freezing or in order to smooth the ice over with more water. Signs will be posted when it is closed for this or other reasons.
