Confirmed from Grand Rapids Township Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Relaxed outdoor area featuring baseball diamonds, basketball hoops, playgrounds and tennis courts.
What runners say about Grand Rapids Township Park
“Overall clean, plenty of equipment for children and conveniently located right near the freeway for easy entrance and exit.”
“We have done kite flying, picnic lunch, there are different play levels in the playground for all ages.”
Not bad. There's a paved path and playground. The net says dogs are allowed only on the trail but not at the park; park entrance says 'no pets', so it's kind of confusing. I also don't know which way to enter with my dog without going through the gates with the signs...so🤷🏻♀️
Love this park! I used to be a nanny nearby back in 2007 and I would bring the 3 little boys I nannied here often. It was one of our favorite playgrounds. Came again recently with my 2 children and they loved it! There are several play structures and swings, slides, merry-go-rounds and all sorts of fun things!
The trails were absolutely beautiful to walk. I have been to this park a lot and had no idea these trails were there. There are restrooms, tennis courts, a giant playground, dogs were there walking the trails. When u get done at the park, and the door is open, its right behind the Grand Rapids Twsp.
Great place for family time. Large play structure and a few soccer fields to boot. A couple baseball diamonds and walking trail with a volleyball and tennis courts also. Bathrooms are handy for when nobody wants to leave but someone has to use one. Easy access in and out plus plenty in the area for food.
