Facility Details

Sunset Park (1217 West Pleasant Street) – 4.5 acre park located at Sunset and W. Pleasant Streets. Originally owned by the Tenant Family, Sunset Park was donated to the City of Portage in 1931 by Zona Gale Breese and Eleanor Breese to be used solely for public park purposes. The stone wall and steps were landscaped by Betty Tenant through one of President Roosevelt's New Deal programs in the 1930's. This park contains a shelter, restrooms, electricity and horseshoe pits, charcoal park grills, and playground equipment. A gravel path winds through the park to a beautiful view of the Wisconsin River at Sunset Point, one of the highest points in Portage at the peak.
