Island Park
Island Park is located on the largest of Grand Ledge’s famous “Seven Islands.” At the turn of the 19th Century, it held a hotel, casino, roller coaster and resort. Now, Island Park is the venue for the Color Cruise and Island Festival, the Island Art Fair, Civil War encampments during Victorian Day, and numerous weddings.

Jaycee Park
Jaycee Park is located on W. River St. on the Grand River. There is a pavilion available for rent, a playground, a basketball court, a volleyball court, and the riverwalk joins Jaycee Park with Island Park.

Lincoln Brick Park
Lincoln Brick Park is located on Tallman Road. It is historically named after the decade of brick production that once took place on site. This 90 acre park is composed of a variety of habitats from
woodlands and open meadows to over 6,000 foot of scenic river frontage including two picnic pavilions, playground, swim beach, Interpretive Center/Museum, two miles of nature trails, cross-country ski trails, and fishing.

Oak Park
Oak Park is the home of Grand Ledge’s eponymous sandstone quartz ledges. Towering fifty feet above the Grand River, the ledges also gave the City its original name used by the Native Americans: “Big Rocks.” Amateur rock climbers, photographers, artists and others visit the ledges throughout the year. The ledges are accessible from Oak Park by following the path from the lookout, down to the river’s edge.
