    Love love love this park!…read more It's ALWAYS CLEAN.. and the people are most always kind. The yearly Ox Roast festival they hold in this park on Labor Day weekend is ALWAYS a great time!! There is a nice Pavillion for parties with large..clean..picnic tables. And a cute little restroom building near the picnic area. The restrooms could use a little more cleaning though. The playground area has some great equipment..kids love it!

    My niece loves parks, and we love taking her to the park to help burn off the seemingly bottomless…read moreamount of energy that she seems to have. You give her a nice playset with lots of slides, swings, and other activities, and she'll end up happily playing the day away. Today, we ended up at Lawrence Park- while she had a good time, there were a number of problems we found, too. First off, the park is a good size- there's an absolutely massive playset with slides, swings and everything a kid could want to climb on, swing from or slide down- I'm fairly certain that my niece found every last thing to play on, but we're certain we'll come on back to confirm that! There's also a couple basketball courts, picnic tables and grills, but the park is right there in Lawrence so grabbing a bite from a local restaurant is an option if you don't feel like packing food. The playset is surrounded by wood mulch. As far as problems, well... the basketball courts have seen better days. They're cracked with grass growing up between the cracks, and really need to be redone before they end up completely unplayable. Portions of the playset are also broken- most noticeably the bridge pictured above, that looks like it was cut or undone. It might be a bit of a safety hazard, but it was really only a small disappointment to my niece. Overall, it's a darn good park with the possibility to be a lot better with a bit of work and some elbow grease!

    Want a quiet, peaceful beach on Lake Michigan? One that has picnic tables, a ramped deck on top of…read morethe dune (thank you, city of South Haven, for providing handicap accessibility), and best of all in this town, a restroom with changing areas that stays open past dusk? Enter Packard Park - it's 2 parks north of North Beach, is free, and is the quietest beach in town. You'll head down a short dune and then find the big lake. People bring chairs or towels. The entrance to the water is sandy, and the bottom is firmer than that of South Beach, by the pier. You can see the pier in the distance, just south. Up by the parking lot, you'll see several picnic tables, a grill, and a restroom. The women's has two toilet stalls and two changing stalls - WITH DOORS! thank you. The park is open until 10. Often, when we swim at dusk, we get out of the water too late to change in the North or South Beach bathrooms. NO worries of that here. No lifeguard. Plenty of parking, and a grassy area for kids to run around on if you're cooking dinner before (or after) swimming.

    The park itself does not offer much. It has little shade but it does offer sunset views and…read morebenches. There are plenty of other viewing spots at the neighboring beaches.

    Packard Park - Next to the handicap parking spot, but looking right (north) to the deck area. There's a ramp up, and a seating area (with picnic tables)

    This is a beautiful and sacred space: a place for all of us to honor and reflect on the cost of…read morewar. It is also a very healing space for anyone going through a loss or grief. The experience for me was overwhelming. Please remember to honor the sacredness of the space and park carefully and follow the requests to not walk in the poppy field. It is a truly incredible experience. I think this is such a gift to their son and the whole community. What a beautiful idea.

    I got goosebumps at first glimpse of this beautiful memorial park on a 92° day…read more I've been reading quite a bit about this beautiful, 4 acre property that local blueberry farm owners had turned into a gigantic poppy garden in honor of their son, an Afghanistan war veteran who committed suicide after struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder. I think it's so important to acknowledge the importance of mental health, the stigma against mental health disorders, and the difficulty in finding treatment and peace. I have also lost loved ones to suicide, and my heart so deeply goes out to the family who put together this incredible tribute. This gigantic, beautiful field of poppies and other wildflowers will certainly be an ephemeral beauty, so be sure to visit before July as it is currently at peak bloom. Whatever you do, do not walk on nor pick the flowers. There are a few small paths that lead 5 to 10 ft into the field, so you can capture some beautiful photos without disturbing any of the flowers. Visitors can park along the road, or at the far side of the neighboring cemetery, but of course be sure to be mindful of those visiting the graves of loved ones.
