Reviews
"Really cute. There's a nice, if short, walking path to the dam and back and a small splash pad. It's a nice area for fishing and exploring with the kids or sitting and reading a book. One of my favorite parks in the GR area."
"Gorgeous park along the Thornapple river that is great for all ages! It is a relatively small park, but there is tons to look at! Wildlife, wildflowers, a huge dam and much more! There were a few people having lunch when we visited and it would definitely be a good spot for a picnic. There are plenty of benches and covered seating. You can also fish from here if you have a permit!"
"Great park with Cascade Dam in view. Beautiful nature area. Calm & quiet with beautiful bronze statues. Loved it here."
"A fantastic family-friendly spot with beautiful gardens & a touch of Thornapple River history thrown in. This location was previously a residence & Leslie E. Tassel generously provided this space for the community. Restrooms and covered picnic spots make this place ideal for parties. There is also a fire pit ring down by the water. There is a dam on the river here; you can occasionally watch as they raise & lower the stops for the water. There are lovely bronze sculptures: one of children playing ring around the rosy, and one of a grandpa telling his grandson the size of a fish. Sculptural water display acts as a splash pad for the kids! They love it! There are some great fishing spots here. TIP—> bring lightweight plastic cups for the kids to set on top of the water spouts in the ground. They love to watch them shoot up into the air! TIP—> walk across the street to enjoy tasty treats at the local coffee & ice cream spots!"
"What a surprise. I lived neat here for years and over lyrics recently discovered this local treasure. A fun self starting fountain park for the kids to cool off in the summer and a nice overlook of the dam and river."
