Dwight Lydell 4040 Leland Avenue Northeast, Comstock Park, MI 49321

"We recently visited this park while participating in a Kent County Park volunteer project (planting more seeds in the flower prairie). The park has a nice pavilion and playground as well as a walking trail that loops the entire park and a huge open grass area perfect for picnics. There is also a small creek that runs along the edge of the park and a look over to get a better view of the creek. Along the creek that are wonderful native grasses and flowers to help pollinators and control erosion during the wet season. Overall lots to do and see at this one location but not the best park that Kent County has to offer."

"I love Dwight Lydell park! There is the beautiful and historic water well located next to the library. It was a great location to take pictures when it was my senior year. The Mill Creek Days takes places here Aug 10-12 so it becomes a very festive area. The pavilion is booked very frequently during the summer time for events which is nice to see. Very clean. Also the location where the Comstock Park Public Schools homecoming parade starts. Could probably use more picnic benches but otherwise seating is very nice. And there is a nice open space for things like frisbee or throwing balls. Very nice trails too!"

"I miss the trees by the creek that were there as I grew up, but the renovations are great too. My two small children, 3 and 6, love the new playground, especially the Jungle Gym. There is a lot of stuff for Pokémon Go players to check out. The creek is accessible with ducks around and occasionally you can see a train go by. There is a hot dog restaurant and an ice cream place within walking distance"

"The park is under major construction to realign the flood plane and create a natural community viewing area with an actual stage in the future. Two new bridges and a viewing area will be included. The picnic pavilion and bathrooms will remain. It should be very nice when done."
