Hawk Island County Park, located on Cavanaugh Road, between Pennsylvania Avenue and Aurelius Road, in south Lansing is the newest park in our system. Long-time residents will remember the Sablain Gravel Pit location, which has been transformed into a beautiful park featuring natural planting areas.
Hawk Island offers rowboat and pedal boat rental, a swimming beach, picnic areas and shelters, sand volleyball, horseshoes, paved accessible walkways (1.5 miles) and fishing docks and a concession stand. A community built playground opened in 2004. A state-of-the-art Splash Park, which opened in the summer of 2006, is the newest attraction at Hawk Island County Park.
In the winter, bring the family and enjoy sledding down the big hill or the little folks hill. Then warm up with a cup of hot chocolate in the warming lodge.
