Granger Meadows Park, Lansing

This park is great. The path around it is perfect for walking/running and has climbs and descents. The basketball courts and jungle gym offer hours of fun. The area would be ideal for celebrations too! I look forward to going back again very soon!

I went to this park in the summer because I heard it has a really nice sledding hill to watch the sunset. It was a bit of a walk to get there because we parked on the wrong side of the park. We had to walk through a trail that was well embedded within trees. While it was fun to walk it when the sun was still out, walking back after dark was somewhat unnerving even though it was well lit. You can just sense more sounds and presence of animals around you. The actual view was on top of the hill was absolutely priceless. However because there is a lot of tall grass on top of the hill, it was less ideal for my friend who had shorts on to be up there. Bugs like tall grass. So I’d recommend wearing clothes that cover most of the skin especially if you have little ones who will be closer to the tall grass. Every once in a while I would hear movement in the tall grass which again was a little unnerving even if it may have been a harmless creature of the park. It was a memorable experience that is worth doing again and again.
