This is a gated lot so be respectful of the hours. No pets, no smoking and no alcohol allowed. Lots of rules posted. Loved the ADA walkway to the top. Every 30' was a flat spot on the ramp to the overlook. Perfect for wheel chairs. Unfortunately it's stairs to the beach but still a great view if you can't touch the water. The place is definitely snuggled among personal homes so be respectful.

This is the splash pad of dreams…read more A savvy splash pad sounds super desirable to most parents or caretakers who don't have the time or the patience to watch their kiddos like a hawk at the pool or the beach. Pack a little sunscreen, a towel and maybe some sort of bucket or container and you're set for the splash pad. And this particular splash pad is splashtastic. With three separate pads in one large park, the Zeeland splash pad park is great for kiddos of all ages. The fountains/sprinklers vary in size and scope, so toddlers can enjoy the splashy festivities as well. They also have benches and concrete steps for sitting, water (drinking) fountains, and two restrooms (with changing tables) that were fairly clean. When it's insanely hot out and you don't want to pack your car and your patience for the beach, hit up this splash pad!
