Very nice park. Huge! Lots of space. Good play area for kids, good design, and full engagement. I only visited the playground area, I saw a covered area, parking lot was ok. First park we visited on our trip to the capital. (truth be told-this was the best part of our trip)

We went to the park to eat our dinner. Some of the tables were down to be able to use. The lawn had been mowed and the baseball fields were being updated . There were different groups also eating and getting together. We would go back again.

A good time for kids of all ages. See the pictures. Playground, baseball fields, picnic tables, grills, necessary room facilities. They could probably use more parking, but for the most part it seems adequate. We are thankful for Patriarche Park in Metro Lansing

Very nice park. Tennis courts, baseball or softball, I believe there is a soccer field in the back. Nice place for a barbecue picnic or just to relax. Great place to take your kids.

Review №43

This is the park that seems to be the one we visit most for play dates after school. There is plenty of parking, a huge pavilion with picnic tables, and well maintained BBQ pits. The paved walkway around the park is nice for a little stroll. Or if the season is right there are a few trails to explore on a nice wooded lot in the back. The playground equipment seems to change every few years which makes this park a long standing favorite for our family.

What a great park! Something for everyone. There are multiple playground structures, ranging from traditional (swings, slides, etc) to unusual and innovative (forest of climbing trees, mushroom table and toadstool chairs, etc). My kids favorite was the twirling mushroom. Then my 10-year-old discovered that there are 3 Pokemon Go gyms in the area and he was super happy, lol.There are also picnic tables, lots of trees, a baseball diamond, and a water tower.

Park is well maintained. Lots of fields and open space! The playground area has what looks to be two areas: a more modern, plastic and pipe, area with soft rubber-style surface, and the older play area with older steel equipment and wooden small structures. Its nice to see this older equipment maintained and not just replaced with new!

Always a great park option. Clean and offer a ton of space. It has tennis courts, baseball/softball field, and a ton of green space.
