    We've been swimming here for years, so I was surprised to see I hadn't written a review yet!…read more This park has a sandy (with some gravel) beach, accessed via a hilly sidewalk from the handicap parking next to the newish picnic pavilion. Note: to get to the handicap parking, you don't park up top (and walk down those stairs, obviously!), but drive down a clearly marked accessible road down to the four handicap spaces nearer to the beach. You will still have to walk/wheel from those spots to the water. The water starts out really shallow (good for playing, if you have littles), and then goes deep pretty quickly. There is often a bunch of seaweed near to the shore, and, depending on the weather, the water can be murky. Persevere! STILL! It is a swimmable lake, and feels really good to get in the water, so close to home. There's a small playground area, a grassy area next to the sidewalks, and then, along the lakeshore, plenty of space for fishing.

    An oasis in the middle of the city, it's easy to blink-and-you-miss-it this gem across from Oakwood…read morePlaza near the intersection of Oakland Drive and Parkview. This small park offers an elevated path and raised overlook and a small beach. If you work nearby, this is a great place to escape on your lunch break with a picnic and a good book. I once spotted a snowy owl in a tree adjacent to the park. Definitely a life highlight! Not the best swimming hole in the area (definitely visit Portage's Ramona Park for a bigger, better beach), but still worth the trip.

    Such a beautiful park in Holland's city center close to the shopping and dining area. When we took…read moreour dog there for an early morning stroll, there was someone taking meticulous care of the large wizard of Oz book in plant form, trimming it, watering it. I was quite amazed but not surprised seeing how lovely everything is! The flowers were all in bloom, no random trash, grass green and freshly mowed, and trash receptacle can be found spaced out enough that there should not be a reason for anyone not to walk the short distance to throw away their trash. I love the water fountain area surrounded by a variety of flowers in bloom. My pup loved her stroll, too. The park is very well shaded with trees and magnificent vegetation throughout. I regretted not spending more time there as there are quite a bit of benches located throughout the park to sit and enjoy the view from. This is my second visit to this park and I am more and more impressed every time. Great job city of Holland and those who takes great care of the park!

    What a gem this park is to Holland Michigan…read more In addition to this quaint town with a charming downtown, this gorgeous park is a welcome option for a little relaxation in the middle of greenery and history. The statues, flowers and greenery all come together to create a lovely oasis in the city. The fountains and gazebo add to the charm. Each time I visit Holland, I always make a point to take a walk through this perfect park.
