Pillsbury Point State Park is located in Arnolds Park, Iowa, United States. It is Iowa's smallest state park and unlike the others, it is an urban park.[3] At 6.48 acres (2.62 ha), it is a narrow park that extends along a point of land into West Okoboji Lake adjacent to private summer houses.[4] The overlook at the north end of the park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[2] The historic designation includes walkways along the lake, stone steps, stone benches, and property boundary markers.
