Nice park with a relatively short walk to see all the bridges. The bridges are all 100+ years old and have been brought to the park from nearby areas. This park is part of the North Country National Scenic Trail which spans 7 states.

Its always a peaceful walk. The smell of the fresh outdoors and the sound of nature always sparks joy in my life. My son loved to walk trough the leaves just to hear the crunch and its always great when I can catch a wonderful picture of my son enjoying the peacefulness of the outdoors.

Such a pretty park! The bridges are such a unique feature and there’s a nice loop trail to get a quick mile walk in! What a gem tucked away in my corner of Battle Creek.

Cool scenic views set in a marsh land next to Kalamazoo river. Love the use of old bridges, nice walking trails, good fishing spots, kayaking ect. Or just chill on their many benches. Definitely worth a stop.

Nice park and little trail. My girlfriend and stopped here with her nephew on the way back from Kalamazoo for alittle break since it was a nice day. He really liked all the bridges and we got to see a few birds too. Even though it was a small trail, it was surprising how much litter we saw. Remember leave it better than how you found it.

Great place for picnic or walk. Lots of old bridges placed here for a exploring. Again lots of human garbage that like to leave liter all over.

This park was mostly beautiful. The paths are easy to navigate and the bridges were fun to inspect and walk across. The only real downside was the pavilion was trashed and there was garbage along the stream. If I had gloves and garbage bags I would have cleaned up. Otherwise it was a beautiful place to walk with lots of species of birds to observe

This is one of the best places to go with family. Nature walk and trails, with kayaking and a playground for kids. Always recommend it here. The bridges are quite iconic and there is local history to go along with them.

Great place for the kids to play. Gorgeous scenery. Most people are either getting dropped off/picked up from being on the river. Not to many bugs either. There is a trail to walk :)

I grew up coming here and it has improved so much over the years. Great place to bring your dog to swim. Great place to kayak into, as they have a ramp. They have a nice playground and plenty of places to take beautiful pictures.

Beautiful little park with some cool historic bridges. Emphasis on little park though. Was able to slowly walk through basically the whole thing in 15 minutes. Its also a little hard to escape the ambient car sounds from the nearby overpass.

My 1st time here today. Very nice park but bridge needs updating. Boards need to be replaced not just put a piece of board over a holes.

Great place to go for a nice walk or bike ride. If your lucky or unlucky you may spot a snake or two! In the summer it a great starting point or ending point for kayaking. The section between marshall and historic bridge is perfect for kayaking.

A beautiful place to spend the day. The play park is a smaller one but one of the safest I have found. You could loose yourself and time in this place while you step into history. The water is clean with a nice spot to fish and kayak.
