Paul H. Douglas Center for Environmental Education
Temporary Closure of Douglas Center - The national park’s Paul H. Douglas Center for Environmental Education is temporarily closed due to unsafe conditions on the pedestrian bridge that links the center to its parking lot on Lake Street.
The closure will remain in effect until a crosswalk is in place on Lake Street and a safe path from the parking lot to the crosswalk is established. The National Park Service is working with the City of Gary to get a safe crossing of Lake Street at the Douglas Center.
The pedestrian bridge is scheduled to be removed in June and will be replaced sometime within the next year.
The hiking trail through Miller Woods is open and a four-car parking lot on the west side of Lake Street remains open for the public. And you can still enjoy:

Friends of Marquette Park and Shoreline Committee
Our public officials were well represented at the Beach Public Safety and Parks Community Meeting May 12. Gary Police Department & Beach Patrol Simon Lillie, Gary Fire Department Dive Master David Evans, Lake County S.W.A.T. Commander Jim Stahl, Lake County Police Department Marine Unit Officer Jim Weller, Lake County Police Department Aviation Unit Pilot Randy Phillips, Gary Parks Department Superintendent Marianetta Barber, Gary Parks Pavilion Executive Director Kamishia Jackson, Gary Parks Aquatics Director Tawanna Lyons and Gary Parks Maintenance Supervisor Don Plohg did a great job sharing plans for the beach season.
Gary Police Department Beach Patrol, assigned specifically to our shoreline, began operations a week before Memorial Day. As Simon Lillie stated, “Our best kept secret is out.” Plan to see more enforcement of the laws (parking, speeding, etc.) with upgraded technology. No parking in bike paths. The beach parking lots close at 9:00 pm.
Lake County Sheriff’s Department also patrols our beaches and waters with more sophisticated equipment for rescues. If you see a problem on the water with boats, call 219-398-9033. Usually, if you hear the Lake County helicopter, it’s time to get off the beach.
Gary Fire Department has trained more officers to assist with rescues on the beach and in the water with new equipment. A reminder: the designated and guarded swimming areas are Marquette Park and Lake Street Beach. The beach from Montgomery Street to County Line Road is a boating and swimming beach where both boaters and swimmers are allowed. Inside the buoys is a no-wake zone for boats They must travel north/south only and respect swimmers..
Gary Parks Department is determining where to locate speed tables on the streets in Marquette Park to deter speeding. The speed limit in the park will be 20 miles per hour. The buoys are in before Memorial Day!! Lifeguards started duties on May 21. There is a definite schedule for trash pickup. The grass is cut professionally every week. The beach cleaner is fixed! The first Drive-In Movie Night is Saturday, May 28 at the large parking lot. Come see Batman. Beach Buds is back running the concession stand opening Memorial Day weekend. Wind-Down Wednesdays, Bourbon Nights, and a Food Fest are planned at the Pavilion.
Golf Cart Registration: call Vehicle Maintenance Department at 219-882-4011 to schedule an inspection.

Water Safety Society
Remember - The BEST day at the beach is a SAFE day at the beach. It's in your hands.
- Water safety is a personal responsibility.
- Do your research at www.coldwatersafety.org; www.glsrp.org and www.greatlakeswatersafety.org.
- Know and understand the different currents: long shore, off shore, and rip.
- Take swim lessons and understand swimming in a pool is VERY different than swimming in a lake. The waves come in one after the other with very little time to stand up between them and they will knock you down.
- Know there are sandbars with drop offs - some over your head.
- Understand that buoys are marine traffic guides - NOT a target to swim to.
- Practice practice practice - floating, treading water, bobs, swimming along shore to increase your endurance.
- Always be a dedicated water watcher. If you have kids at the beach with you WATCH THEM and do not be distracted by conversation, books or phone. Be in arms' reach of younger ones.
- Bring and wear life jackets!
- If you see a swimmer in distress call 911.
Bonus but obvious- Don't drink or get high near or around water and never when you are responsible for others!
ENJOY LAKE MICHIGAN and all water safely. It is up to you, even in guarded areas!

Because of the construction related to the Double Tracking Project, there has been, and will continue to be, significant changes to the landscape on all boundaries of the Humane Society property.

We are making plans to adapt to these changes, including new landscaping (with the help of the Miller Garden Club) and new fencing. We hope to raise money through donations to cover the cost of these very necessary changes.
Come by our location at 6100 Melton Road and check out all our residents. We get new pets every day. Don’t forget to check our Facebook page and our website to see a wish list of needed supplies and a connection to AMAZON that allows you to have items sent directly to us.
