About Grand River Riverfront Township Park (North and South)
Address: 12200 Grand River Dr SE Lowell, MI 49331
Lowell's Grand Riverfront Park consists of two sections, North and South, that are joined by a splendid walking bridge over the Grand River.
The 80-acre Grand River Riverfront Park includes two islands.
The south portion of the park has a canoe launch, two softball fields, a lacrosse field, 8 soccer fields, and 8 volleyball courts plus a playground with equipment designed for ages 4 to 12.
There's also a mile-long paved nature/walking path, a scenic overlook and fishing pier on the Grand River, and one large picnic pavilion with restroom facilities.
The park is open to the public every day from 8 AM to dusk, except for days that snow or water make driving in the park unsafe. Restrooms are closed from late October until late March.
The North side of the park features a small playground, gaga ball pit, pickleball courts, and an ice cream shop (in season).
Trail Difficulty: Easy
The Playground at Grand River Riverfront Township Park (North and South)
South Grand River Riverfront Park: The playground here has a woodchip surface and is surrounded by large open fields.
North Grand River Riverfront Park: The playground at the North side of this park includes a gaga ball pit, a small playset, and pickleball courts.
The Walking Path at Grand River Riverfront Township Park (North and South)
The paved walking paths here are smooth and stroller-friendly. The path is one-mile long on the South Park side and offers views of the Grand River. This would be a great place for kids learning to bike ride to practice.
The walk over the bridge is very nice and pets on a leash are welcome. You can easily walk from the South Park to the North Park to get ice cream in the summer when the concessions are open.
