WHAT WE DO...

Located just minutes from the heart of Lansing, more than 1,400 acres of outstanding Ingham
County parkland are devoted to sports and recreation.  Enjoy the quiet simplicity of a picnic overlooking Lake Lansing or spend an afternoon looking for wildflowers, hiking nature trails or canoeing along the scenic banks of the Grand River.

Sports enthusiasts can crack home runs at any of the four ball diamonds, toss a ringer at horseshoes, spike a volleyball across a net, dunk a basketball or play soccer at mid-Michigan's premier soccer complex.

Most Ingham County Parks remain open year-round, including Potter Park Zoo.  Cross-country ski trails and toboggan runs are available for those who relish the great outdoors.  For those who prefer warmth to winter's chill, hot cocoa can be found in the warming lodges!

From the brilliant fall colors along the wooded trails of the Riverbend Natural Area to the sizzling summer beaches of Burchfield Park, Lake Lansing Park-South, and Hawk Island Park, your Ingham County Parks can make any day of the year a play day
