Best Beach Pavillion Lansing Near Me

Trevor Benoit: The lightscape from the Lansing Center to the park is well done and serves to draw you down into the park from Michigan Ave and pull you through to the Shiawassee st. bridge that serves as a space for public art. The dynamic lighting creates a warm and inviting sense of place. We need to see more lighting plans like this in public spaces around Lansing.

Krystasia “Stasi”: We come here often to feed the ducks and enjoy the river trail. Lately, there's been a goose that has a fishing line tied around its foot. Even though the foot is swollen, goose is often alone (they're usually social beings) and can only swim in a circle or at an angle - DNR isn't able to do anything because they're short staffed and its "not a priority because said goose isn't . If you see this goose, help him out!

MrBarney Knows: Always nice and pleasant at night. Nice for couples to chill at.

Steve B: Used to love this place. I would give this place 5 stars but every time I go there seems like the zombies are growing in numbers. Dirty needles everywhereThis place has just turned out to be a new way to pollute our beautiful Grand River and downtown Lansing with several plastic bottles tubes and dirty needles. Beyond this park as a species we must learn how to stop all of the #plasticpollution Just check out the picture we cleaned all of this with my family last month. The city really needs to get on this as well as the people within it. This place really used to be a gem.I would strongly recommend not to use the bathroom here bathroom here FYI.Restrooms: I would strongly recommend not to use the restroom here. Several junkies have been found shooting up or dead inside of this one. It's as if the city thinks that 1 bathroom and only cleaning at once a month is acceptable. This place is turned out to be a shame.Picnic area: One of the best picnic areas in the entire city however has been ruined by the pollution and zombies this place is unsafe to even sit with your children due to the overwhelming amount of dirty needles

Doin the most: The Loop

Alauna Wright: Nice place to chill. Only downside is there’s glass liquor bottles smashed on the ground in random areas sometimes. People like to smoke out there and chill (I don’t mind). Some people feed the ducks some people will kayak and some people will scooter. I like to go out there and scooter or eat food and relax.

M. Syarif (omcalip): Another pretty public space on great Lansing. I spent the weekend with my family to see the river, playing sand, or biking, or just walking.

Jeremy Hegge: My sons favorite place on earth

Just clean up after and pups may go unnoticed!

Dan Slater: This was the best day of 2022, the president of the company I work for too all my co-workers and I to the lake and went tubing. It was the most fun I had had since I had been in recovery.It was a special day because everyone that I work with was here and I can’t say in words how important each person I work with is to me. Lake Lansing is an awesome place to hangout with family and friends and go tubing.

M Nasser: Very nice park and lake. It was beautiful in the summer as well in the winter. But it was very cold and lake is frozen.

Brandon Miller: Great family spot or just to take a walk enjoying the views of lake Lansing. They offer rentals. this park was also the site of a former amusement park.

Bill Rouse: Very nice park. We rented the lake view pavilion for a company BBQ and it was perfect. Near the lake and not far from nature trails. Was a great park and we willcbe back. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is they have signs posted that your not allowed to bring your pets and I didn't know that beforehand so my dog had to stay in the truck the whole time.Dog-friendliness: Signs said no pets

Nick Shorkey: Great place for families. Pavilions, beach area, play area, anough room to spread out and relax. Great views and very friendly.

Michael Spalding: Nice place for a family or organizational mandatory fun day!

Jacob Sackleh: Enjoyed this place quite a bit but was confused by the blocking off of certain sections of the play structure. Really nice area and I love that it's by the water.

Sonia Campos: It's so pretty and there is something about the water and smelling it, hearing it and looking at it. I go there quite often. To gather my thoughts

Anthony Johnson: I didn't know lake Lansing dog friendly I didn't know you can bring your dogs into lake Lansing

Not sure about grilling

Carrie Hill: Just beautiful. Great for a picnic, walking, biking, etc.

Kate B: The splash pad is great! Need more shaded areas...

orphanedhanyou: Lovely park layout & nature but the front bathrooms are "closed for the season" in May? Taxpayers pay for entry to their own park for only one open bathroom (which had rusted and crumbling facilities)? On top of this several areas of the park had more litter than expected plus Sycamore Creek had multiple areas with downed trees & branches just piled with trapped trash. Hope a city clean up will get organized.

Deborah Moomaw: I used to take my family here years ago during the summer. We always had a good time. There are so many activities at the park: splash pad, swimming lake with row boats, fishing, sand volleyball and badminton net area, grassy area to fly a frisbee, and a wooden playground.Picnic area: Picnic tables around park, concession bar, some tables under umbrellas near splash pad.

Eli's_ BR549: Beautiful place to go fishing, walking, bike rides, etc....

Bloomin in Kindness: My kids and I go on walks here all of the time. Can't wait for warmer weather so we can enjoy the beach.

Coqui Ta: Beautiful clean trails make a more enjoyable walk. I'm giving it 4 stars because their tubing reservations system leaves a lot to be desired, this time of year

KRISTEN L: Ran the pi day 5k here on Saturday. Nice little park. Trails were all clear except the boardwalk around the lake. Trails are very well marked. Actual rest rooms (so I don't know if they were just open for the race worth are open all year). Nice play equipment and plenty of parking

L: On Friday, March 3rd 2023 at 5p i purchased 5 tickets ($55) for a time slot of 4p-6p for Saturday, March 4th 2023.When my family arrived on March 4th at 3p (ish) I was told i am not on the list. I showed "Shelby" my confirmation email and she said, "you are a day late. those were for yesterday."i looked at the email and was shocked, I said, ""why would i buy 4p tickets at 5p!" she said that they were filled up but i could wait around and possibly the last 15-30 min we could go. i let her know, that $55 dollars is not worthy of a potential 15 min of tubing and i asked if i could have a refund. "I dont do that" i asked if i could speak to a manager and she called a christina. i could hear cristina on the phone and she said the same thing. i asked if christina could come here to speak to me and she said she would.i waited around for over 30 minutes. i asked if she can be called again to let her know im still waiting.christina spoke with me, "Im on my lunch and im not coming there to discuss with you. this is the deal, its like when you buy 10 movie theatre tickets, 10 people come and there is no room for others, thats the same im telling you."i said, "can i explain your computer scheduling issue and what happened" she said the computer scheduling issue is not here, "you can try to talk to someone on Monday about this." she had a laugh in her voice.I had again explained, "you cant allow my 3 kids to enjoy the tubing since we drove an hour here." i didnt care about my ticket or my husbands at that time.she said, "no"this was beyond hurtful, lack of empathy, no customer service, controlling and they should be embarrassed. they made it to we will never visit again and i will be sharing this experience with multiple social media reviews/friends/etci hope their behavior makes it to the proper chain in command and perhaps some customer service classes/training.

Jessicia Venture: Amazing trails, dog friendly (even dog water fountains! ) can't wait till summer to rent boats!

Susan Rieske: Took my grandson to play on the playground. There's modern play structures for different ages. The park is beautiful. It has a wooded area with mature trees. There are restrooms and picnic tables available.

Dan Williams: No longer has an ice rink, ok kids playground but not as good as others in the area. The City of Lansing could do better improving this park especially due to its location as it would serve lots of underprivileged families on the south side.

Britt Numberone: Memories

Desiree Buchanan: Good park to bring the family

Hekaties Darkblood: Kids loved it. Plenty of space to run around and enough plays areas to keep them busy.

Brandon Whaley: Great place to get a little bit of peace and quiet. Great place for some R & R

Toyiah Clark: It was a great day

Lacoastiest Williams: Big park

Cassandra Herrick: Always a nice quiet place and parking under a tree for shade.

Bloomin in Kindness: My kids have some wonderful experiences through the many programs that are offered.

ttall yar: Lots of activities. Friendly staff!

Jennifer Bingham: My kids went to camp here for a couple weeks and then my son got booted for “behavior issues”.My son is on the autism spectrum which was notified to them upfront and in person. They chose to kick him out of camp at the end of a tues and not allow him back for some behavior issues. Understandable if they can’t train their staff well enough to handle all kids. They would not respond to emails from me or my husband or answer the phone for the person I was directed to about getting a refund. So they kept a full weeks fee for camp and after care for both my children when they wouldn’t allow them back. Both kids were super disappointed and heart broken. I had to find last min child care and miss work due to not being able to find anything. My daughter couldn’t go back because I couldn’t take them to separate child care. They also talked negative about my son right in front of him and expected my daughter to have intervened with the behaviors and referred to her just sitting there. She’s 7! We had just moved to Michigan and this is the first impressions we got. Sad that other children who were causing issues and biting were allowed to still come but not my son for his issues.

Virginia Workman: Kids had a blast very clean and in a good neighborhood

Melynda Christle: Thelma is a front line worker, working hard to get our school children fed.. She is an amazing lady..

Jesus Saves: BEWARE! Teachers at "Homeschool Days at Foster" are malicious. Gossiping about your kids being your backs, including confidential information. Untrained staff provides subpar instruction to kids and usually have no clue how to manage kids, particularly quirky ones. Programming is what you would expect from a city that doesn't invest dollars into facilities nor communities. Teachers and staff do not communicate effectively to parents.

Sean Eman: Lame

Joe Nehls: Great park but they won't let you bury your pets there so don't even try.

James: Clean building, friendly and helpful staff.

Parabola “Fuk Sheet Up” 100: The TV show is pretty good

Demphna Krikorian: Love the River Trail

Randy Barton: We have had a great experience with the Park's and Rec sports.
