Very cute park! I brought my takeout food here to eat. There were quite a few picnic tables to sit at, and trash cans to throw away garbage.The play areas looked well taken care of, and there was plenty of space to run around.

Beautiful and well kept family park.

Grandkids had great fun!!!

As a local resident we always go play at this park! My daughter always makes friends while here! Also threw a party there for my sister as they have picnic tables and a grill and pavilion.

Nice park. Would like to see some more playground equipment.

Great place, easy access for small groups social distancing.

Its crowded here alot. Seen some sketchy characters here.

The cho cho train is the most favorite part for my girls, nice park

A lot of people with out mask, other then that time was fun. A kid was staring at me though and mumbling somthing under his breath looking mad...

Great place for Kung Fu on Monday nights at 5:30

Nice place downtown.

Train shaped playground. Has two sets of swings. In addition to the newer play set, an older slide and small merry go round made me happy to introduce my kids to. Has a basketball area, gazebo and space to run around as well. Me and my kids love this park.

Could use more picnic tables, esp near the playground.

Good clean safe playground, sports and other recreational equipment with great proximity to town. Large shade trees and maintained landscaping. Great for families and all types of activities.

Great relaxing park.

Just learned why this place is called F & M park. Super cool, gotta love history. Also this park is just chill. Kids playing on the playground, shooting hoops or just sun bathing. They have a big gazebo, picnic tables & plenty of shade from all the trees. There is also a little hand made house with books to take or leave. We stopped & read a winnie-the-pooh book.

Neat park to have a picnic.

Grew up in this neighborhood. A city block big with a court for hoops, slide & merry go round. Condos across the street are new but still pretty much the same. Nice trees.

Grew up on the corner. Wonderful memories. Ice skating in the winter. Playing for hours in the park until the street lights come on .

Small, quaint, and toddler friendly. There are picnic tables, grills and a basketball court as well.

It is just a nice park

One of my favorite parks in town. Playgrounds, basketball and such as well as a great open field to relax and enjoy a nice day!

Nice neighborhood park for kids and dogs plus close to town.

Great park for kids. Huge open space a ton of trees. Unique train playset and basketball courts. Hidden gem while traveling with kids.

It has a good playground and a big open field.

Love this park! Close to downtown, nestled in the beautiful Boardman neighborhood, and surrounded by large oak trees

Great park for the kids

Very nice park. Great play structure. Bathrooms are just two portapotties in one corner and only garbage can is by the gazebo.

Great little park. Great place for kids to play and adults to hang while the kids play.

This is a nice little neighborhood park with picnic tables, done open space, and playground equipment.

One of my daughter and I favorite parks to go to. Great safe area and lots of fun for kids.

Cool playground and open area, my kids love it its the choo choo train park. Only down side is its a portapotty bathroom only

Lots if options, all ages friendly, large and well maintained

Pretty park with lots of fun stuff for kids to do and play on. Activities are out on thought the year at this park as well.

Nice place

Very open and airy park. Large playset for many kids, swings, slides, etc.. Great place for a picnic.

Great playground equipment and great place to have a picnic. Definitely would come back here. Lots of open space to do whatever

Dog and kid friendly, trees if you want shade . Pretty park !

Nice park

It was clean & nice. Will definitely be going back.

Very nice!

Great place to take the kids on a hot day there is lots of shade

F & M is a great park. Probably the best playground in the city, has a reservable pavilion and an open area. Streetside parking can be crowded if the park is busy.

Fun times for little children and lots of space to run around.

Great place to eat takeout food from downtown.

Very nice Park. Lots of things to do. Enjoy!!!

Great place to walk, exercise your canine friend, have a picknick, shoot baskets or let the kids play. The large train engine on the kids playground is especially cool!

Great place for kids

Always had good experiences here and many of the summer parades occur here. For Norte bicycling and all the LGBTQ events are hosted and started from this park. Beyond that it is a family friendly environment and old fashioned style where its homey feel to it. Exceptionally good park.

What a great neighborhood park. Nice area, big playground for events, and the boys love the gigantic train playhouse. Just a stones throw from the main drag in the residential area, this is a great place for a picnic or a break from a bike ride along the lovely TART trail. Stop by!

Kids love it

Its such a fun day park! Perfect open area for running around and playing. A playground train junglegym, a great slide!, A push carasell, and swings for all ages! Trees to play on, restrooms, and a water fountain!! This is an excellent park.

I used to go to this park when I was a kid and I loved it. Its nicer now and the train they have to play on is like a million times safer. However, if youre an old fat guy and you havent jumped off a swing since you were a young skinny guy, be careful. I ended up hurling myself into the ground face first and it hurt my body and pride very much. My wife let me spin her on the marygoround until she was ready to throw up.... So I had a great time

Plenty of space to run around and have a good time, swings, mary go-round, basketball court, big train play ground, balance beams, gazebo and slides. Pretty much the whole gambit, from 2 to teenager it has something for everyone.

It’s an awesome park

A great playground and grassy area off the beach in a quite neighborhood. Great place to meet for play dates. No bathrooms or facilities but McDonalds is half a block away.

Train- themed playscape, swings, merry go round. Lots of shade.

Nice little park right down the street

Old school merry go round, swings, and I watched a falcon kill a small bird here. The train play place is new, my husband used to come here as a child and he said it used to be an old wooden train playground. I dont have kids, but its a pretty romantic spot to hang out when its not busy.

This park was so neglected when I was a kid. Its now a great place to bring your family. Well done TC

Consists of a open field area, basketball courts and a playground area with swings. Near downtown Traverse City it is conviently located to spend a hour or two at. Partial trees on the outter edges of the park provide for hammocking.

Kids love to play there. Swings, slide, a basketball court (just one),and a train like structure for many children to play on.

Great park. Centrally located. Good quality equipment. Swings and slides could use some attention.

Nice park for kids.

Wonderful for space and accessibility. It does benefit from seasonal port-a-potty access, but they need to get something there permanently. Its one of the few places available in town during school hours.

Its free. Parking is available on the street. Covered Gazebo, grills and an updated playstruture that looks like a railroad train. Space to play catch or let the kids burn off energy. Its close to downtown and walking distance to great BBQ at Sparks BBQ or Bubbas Burgers.

Just a great place for everything

Great place!

My son really likes the train play station. Theres no brick and mortar bathroom here, but usually does have a porta-john.

This is one of the best parks in Traverse City. Great playground. Large area. Great location for an event.

Another beautiful Bayside Park!!!

Open area to run around. Close to downtown, with lots of parking. Nice Park.

I miss the old wooden train structures that used to be here, but they still make an ice rink each year so you will hear no complaints from me!

A small tucked away little nugget of a park. The cool thing is you meet a lot of tourists there who always say what an amazing place Traverse City is.

Great for the whole family

Nice

Nice park for kids in Traverse. Good play equipment and a big lawn.

A nice park thats out of the way from all the tourists.

The city does a great job at maintaining this park. Always a go to stop with my kids!

Amazing

Its the train park ad my son calls it. It is close to downtown and draws a very nice crowd.

Great park with wide open space to let the dogs run or play catch wit a human ;)

Childrens play area. Picnic tables. Very peaceful.

One of Traverse Citys best parks

Nice play structure, swings and open field.

Fun park for kids of various ages!

Great park for the kids, my 2 year old loved it.
