The park does a great job organizing time slots so the hill doesn't get too busy. Multiple lanes to sled from and the conveyer belt saves so much time and energy of exhausting yourself just on the trip up. The track is fun for racing and group tubing for all ages. Highly recommend for a fun day outing!

Many people just spread out on the grass which was fine. Maybe that's why there wasn't as much goose poop as other beaches I've visited lately... The water has a mostly sandy bottom with some pebbles and such but I didn't really feel any seaweed which was good. There's a roped off swimming area that is very large. The lake itself was packed with boats and jet skis. The playground was awesome and a bit different than the typical structure. We didn't utilize the back track but it looked cute! There's a bar on the other side of the street that was playing live music and we could hear it from the playground easily. The new bathrooms are nice. There's also a concession stand - I think the hot dogs were $2 or $3, they had nachos and other basic beach snacks but we didn't get anything.

And I'm not ashamed of it. You see this is one of the nicest (but not newest--hence the charm) playgrounds I've been on. It's not that new plastic-y stuff. No, this is a good old fashioned wooden set, but massive, sprawling, and the kind of place a kid dreams is a fort on the old frontier, a pirate ship, or a rocket. The rest of the park is nice, too. In fact, I haven't wandered the trail part of it much. But I did dig the ponds, even though by late summer I noticed they were pretty marshy. Since Mason is a pretty small town, you don't need to know much to find it. Just head west on the main road out of town and you'll see it there on the right. Great to come and walk, play with the kiddos, or have a little picnic. I closed my eyes and did that today, and for a second I was there, even if just in my mind.

A real treasure hides down the hill behind the playground: access to the Ledges and the Ledges Trail. It's amazing to see the giant sandstone outcroppings and to wind in and around.

Gorgeous and a great little hike!

It's a neighborhood park that's got some parts that are a bit rundown (basketball court is grass with mouldering hoops, and there's a decrepit baseball diamond.) There are also some very nice improvements, such as a playground. There are plans to add a kayak launch in the future, which is a great idea, as this park runs along Grand River. There's also an area that they're allowing to become naturalized, with some hiking trails winding through. Altogether this is a great neighborhood park, but not really a destination park yet.

The park is located on the Grand River near the Lansing Country Club. The park itself is pretty large and very beautiful! There are elevated views of the river, a stunning rose garden, a sprawling lawn, a playground, and a large pavilion for events. We enjoyed the shade of the pavilion on the hot June day, and the kids at the party had fun playing on the playground. There are built in cornhole boards which the older kids had fun with. There are some short trails around the rose garden area that we walked on and stopped at the lookout point to check out the river. This park would be a great place for a wedding, wedding photos, birthday parties, picnics, etc. -- if I lived in the area, I feel like this would be my go-to park! No fees for parking or entrance and clean restroom facilities round out this five star park.
