    2017-12-03. Located just across from the river from the Midland Farmers Market is Chippewassee…read morePark. Bordered on the east by the Tittabawassee River, and on the south by the Chippewa River, this multi-featured 35-acre park is home to paved biking and walking paths; picnics; field sports; a childrens' playground; the Trilogy Skatepark; and a dog park at the far end. The park is visible from the highway bridge, but not conventionally accessible. You have to travel north of the park and take a left to loop back around underneath the bridge. Plenty of free parking is available. The Farmer's Market runs on Wednesday and Saturday mornings May through October. Of course, the salient feature is the wooden foot bridge that spans the confluence of the Chippewa and Tittabawassee Rivers, also known as "The Tridge". The dog park is fenced-in, and has a combination of wooded and open areas where dogs can run free. Various agility courses are provided to challenge your pet and there are a couple of sections so you can choose who your dog mingles with. Waste bags are provided free of charge for use, as are trash receptacles. The park is open from 8 a.m. until dusk. There are two visible pavilions with BBQ's nearby. They're the small BBQ's that are cemented into the ground and use charcoal for fuel. There are picnic tables in the pavilion and Port-o-Potty's a short distance away. Like most public parks, you are free to use it via squatting, but if you plan on an event, you should register with the city and get a permit to ensure you have rights to the facility. The Trilogy Skate Park is a 15,000 sq ft of concrete fun for in-line skaters, skate-boarders, and bikes. Hills and ramps of varying degrees, rails, and curved slopes help you hone your skills or perfect that trick. No equipment or rentals are available so you'll have to bring our own. The facilities at Chippewassee Park are unsupervised by municipal staff, but are patrolled by Police. I would like to thank the Officer that was nice enough to take the time and chat with me and provide me with all this info for my review (sorry, I didn't get your name! But you know who you are...) I didn't post this review sooner as I was unable to find the place when trying to check in because the park was not named, and Trilogy didn't come up in my search (that and the fact that I'm behind on my reviews... but I do have my notes!). If you would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Happy Trails!

    Really great park, with plenty of space, benches to rest and watch the river, or tables to sit and…read moreeat in good weather. It also appears to be well maintained, which is encouraging. Outside of featuring The Tridge and various trails intersecting through here, there's also a nice playground and skate park nearby, although that area of the park is currently under construction and appears to be in the process of having new walkways put in.

    I've got lots of thoughts running through my head, simultaneously, all the time. So when I stepped…read moreup to the check-in counter at Millennium Park Boat Rentals, the thoughts in my head were: Wow! It only costs $8 per hour to rent a kayak? Sweet! Wow! These people checking me in and telling me safety information are incredibly young! Will they be able to save me and my family if our kayaks flip over and we fall into the lake? Wow! What a beautiful day! But I wonder how often people fall into the lake. I also wonder how deep the lake is. I also wonder if it's possible to be trapped underwater if your kayak flips over. In the end, I decided to kick it on the sandy beach and wave at my family as they happily paddled on the lake. They had a great time kayaking. I had a great time not kayaking. Like Hot Chocolate says: Everyone's a winner, baby. Kayaks are either single-person or double, and we used one of each. There are very few instructions given, which was a little alarming to me. (You mean you just assume we know what we're doing?!) But fortunately, my family knew what they were doing, so they didn't need much instruction to get themselves out on the water. As you paddle around the lake, you pass the Millennium Park beach and splash pad, plus little islands here and there. There is about four miles of shoreline to explore. I was told that the lake was nice and calm, and that it was a pleasant time on the water. We rented kayaks, but Millennium Park Boat Rentals also offers canoes, paddle boats and stand-up paddle boards to rent. Keep in mind that rentals are seasonal -- this place is only open from Memorial Day-ish to Labor Day-ish.

    Absolutely beautiful! Beautifully maintained. Clean, well landscaped. So much parking. Extensive…read moretrail system. Could not believe how quiet it was and that more people weren't out enjoying it on a warm fall morning!
