Many on the paths go out over the water which was super cool. If you driving though this would be a great place to stop and have a picnic or just wander around. With all the piers I bet I'd be a cool place to do some sunrise photography .

2017-12-03. Located just across from the river from the Midland Farmers Market is Chippewassee…read morePark. Bordered on the east by the Tittabawassee River, and on the south by the Chippewa River, this multi-featured 35-acre park is home to paved biking and walking paths; picnics; field sports; a childrens' playground; the Trilogy Skatepark; and a dog park at the far end. The park is visible from the highway bridge, but not conventionally accessible. You have to travel north of the park and take a left to loop back around underneath the bridge. Plenty of free parking is available. The Farmer's Market runs on Wednesday and Saturday mornings May through October. Of course, the salient feature is the wooden foot bridge that spans the confluence of the Chippewa and Tittabawassee Rivers, also known as "The Tridge". The dog park is fenced-in, and has a combination of wooded and open areas where dogs can run free. Various agility courses are provided to challenge your pet and there are a couple of sections so you can choose who your dog mingles with. Waste bags are provided free of charge for use, as are trash receptacles. The park is open from 8 a.m. until dusk. There are two visible pavilions with BBQ's nearby. They're the small BBQ's that are cemented into the ground and use charcoal for fuel. There are picnic tables in the pavilion and Port-o-Potty's a short distance away. Like most public parks, you are free to use it via squatting, but if you plan on an event, you should register with the city and get a permit to ensure you have rights to the facility. The Trilogy Skate Park is a 15,000 sq ft of concrete fun for in-line skaters, skate-boarders, and bikes. Hills and ramps of varying degrees, rails, and curved slopes help you hone your skills or perfect that trick. No equipment or rentals are available so you'll have to bring our own. The facilities at Chippewassee Park are unsupervised by municipal staff, but are patrolled by Police. I would like to thank the Officer that was nice enough to take the time and chat with me and provide me with all this info for my review (sorry, I didn't get your name! But you know who you are...) I didn't post this review sooner as I was unable to find the place when trying to check in because the park was not named, and Trilogy didn't come up in my search (that and the fact that I'm behind on my reviews... but I do have my notes!). If you would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Happy Trails!

Outside of featuring The Tridge and various trails intersecting through here, there's also a nice playground and skate park nearby, although that area of the park is currently under construction and appears to be in the process of having new walkways put in.

They've got plenty of seating, a bandshell for concerts, bathroom facilities, public art and more. My husband and I grabbed a pizza at the nearby Brooklyn Boyz and enjoyed a lovely picnic of sorts on one of their covered tables while watching the boats and the sun go down around us. It was lovely and one of the easier outdoor dining experiences I've had in recent memory. Parking on the adjacent street (just across from the Planetarium and the entrance to the park by the fountain) was very easy. It was a metered spot but it was on a Sunday so I believe it was free. A great place to spend an evening or an afternoon when the weather cooperates.

The park requires a $3 day use pass. The day before we visited Bay City State Park's beach and it was crowded, noisy, a further walk from the parking lot, and the recreation pass was $9. Plus the water at Pinconning Park is clear while the other beach was murky and algae filled. Both were fine but Pinconning is better.

You're able to park on the side while you unload your kayak or unload right into the water if you have a boat. During the holiday week - there were barely alot of people there which is awesome. My friend and I just wanted some where to float and chat. She repeated like 15 times while we were on the lake.... "I really like this spot". Bathroom were clean and didn't smell any odor - definitely a plus in my book. Please note - recreation passport is required; it's a honor system if you don't have one. There's a pay drop off there - it's bright yellow. Happy travels!!!
