HAWK ISLAND PARK REVIEWS
Hawk Island is a really fun and safe place to go for a swim the splash pad and the lake is really fun and it’s really safe. They have lots of lifeguards to keep us safe. They also don’t let dogs cats or any other animals come into the lake so we can stay safe and clean for those who are allergic to dogs, cats and more animals. They keep it out of the water so then we will be safe safe. hawk island is really cool go if you want to be safe go to HAWK ISLAND :))))))
Have a park pass & & Solden dog park membership. Best dog park in Lansing. Completely fenced in & staging areas for You and your dog to get ready for the park. Once inside it's trails that run though woods to a beach then bathrooms and a straight quarter mile for the dog to really stretch their legs. This is My dog Gus absolute favorite place to go.
Great park for fishing. Kids loved the splash pad and swimming areas. Lots of nicely paved walking space. I can never get a time slot for snowtubing in the winter but would love to check that out.

FENNER NATURE CENTER REVIEWS
My first time there and I took my next door neighbor and she was schooling me on all the nature she was seeing. She took her kids there when they were little and her grandkids. Now she has the pleasure of taking her great grandkids. I look forward to taking my granddaughter there to see nature. We will be even more excited to the ???????? when they start arriving. If you have never been there it's a good place to take the kids, have a picnic lunch and what's also great about it is, that it's free! Who doesn't like FREE ????.
There is such a variety of plants and wildlife! I saw butterflies, birds, and deer. It's quite beautiful with everything in full bloom! Definitely check this place out!
beautiful from every point of view. It has multiple tracks, so you can adjust your pace. It's safe to take your kids with.

WOLDUMAR NATURE CENTER REVIEWS
Very scenic woodland park. They offer valleys, pine forest, tall trees, wetlands, etc so many different kinds of terrain and ecosystems there. Wildlife I saw today included various kinds of birds, carpenter ants, isopods, dragonflies, all kinds of beetles, the dreaded dog ticks and so many awesome kinds of spider I'd never seen before. Also saw a small garter snake which was cool. This park has several great opportunities for geocaching, but is cool to visit regardless.
Trails are well kept, and the center has amazing resources for all ages.
Great place to play and listen to live Bluegrass music
