Lincoln Park is an oasis just west of downtown Grand Rapids, where visitors will enjoy the playground, fenced basketball courts and larger splash pad in the summertime.

This fun park is also reviewed as one of the cleanest parks around, with well manicured open fields perfect for chasing kids.

Pack a lunch, too, because there are plenty of picnic tables.

Lincoln Park is a nice little getaway within a quiet neighborhood.

Kids love to climb, slide and swing on the playground and get drenched at the splash pad in the summer.

With all kinds of mature trees, this is a great place to hang your hammock.

The wide open fields beg to have people run through them with their kites.
