Hagar Park is a great old growth forest with trails, old and "new" playground. Many shelters…read moreavailable for rent and picnic tables everywhere for a fun/ low key get together. I love biking or walking through the trails. I love how this park backs up to a neighborhood and feels quiet yet is still residential. There is a huge wooden play ground that overlooks a grass and rock replica of the USA complete with hills representing mountain ranges. You can walk the perimeter of it for a close up view, but the best vantage point is from the top of the hill. Many things to play on and do at Hagar Park. Pack yourself a picnic and enjoy the facilities during these warmer summer months.

There are several picnic tables, AC power outlets to plug in crock-pots, etc., and a counter to lay out food to serve. There is a drinking fountain just outside the shelter.

Wow, what a stunning and magical new library in Saugatuck! I assume new based on the design and…read morelook of the space. We loved our visit here so much. They have a fabulous kid section with many play offerings, great book displays, computers and games and puzzles for rental. I also noticed that they offer free admission to Grand Rapids Children's museum through a "checked out" admission pass. Amazing! The library offered several great working spaces for adults, seating clusters and a large outdoor covered space as well. The librarian was very sweet and invited us over to a casual craft time as well. This will definitely be part of our Saugatuck rotation in the future. Perfect for when it gets too hot out, rainy days, etc.

We are a couple that chose GH for our landing pad while visiting Michigan for the summer (mid…read moreJune). We stayed in Spring Lake area and felt like it was close to everything - we really enjoyed the downtown social district, musical light show, and Norm's ice cream. Our favorite meals - breakfast at Morning Star, lunch at Lucky Sushi cafe, and dinner at The Unicorn Tavern. We did not anticipate the level of mosquitoes here and wished we had brought bug spray! We also never saw anywhere to do water activities on the beach, but enjoyed the hot sand and freezing lake water. We went north to Muskegon one day and south to Holland another day. All in all, Grand Haven offers a charming, quiet, small town vibe that we really appreciated!

While the lakeside location may be the big draw, we were here for the OTHER Michigan wet stuff, beer. Our visit allowed us the opportunity to really get to know some of the local business owners, brewers, staff & patrons. It was amazing to hear about their history, experiences & passions, most of whom were brimming with pride & recommendations... all of whom were friendly & welcoming. I don't know exactly what I was expecting, but I know that our experiences exceeded our expectations. Unlike some other harbor/lake towns, there were lots of true locals milling about and many open businesses. I've added many bookmarks for our next trip out this way & there will certainly be a next trip.

What happened to the library? I mean, really, it's like someone took everything the library was…read moreSUPPOSED to be and flipped it right on its head. At least, that's kind of the impression I was left with from the Allendale Library. I can't knock their book selection or services offered at all because I'm not even a card-carrying member of this place. I live in the wrong county. But, I'm starting to think that's not such a bad deal after all. The staff here, although obviously competent, seems to really not give a crap about the patrons inside their workplace. I cannot tell you how many times I've been there only to find unruly children running amok, people chatting LOUDLY, cell phone conversations, and even the occasional person chowing down on some McDonald's or Burger King with their loud-ass paper sack and all. Come on... f'real? Yeah, they might have a decent book selection. They DO offer free WiFi (which is why I go there so much) and it CAN have moments where you might actually feel like you're in a library. But that seems to be few and far between for me. I wonder what happened to the library and when it became THE place to socialize. You would think with Allendale growing so rapidly because of GVSU, residents would find better places to take their social lives and uncontrollable kids. Allendale gets two stars just because of the free WiFi and because it looks like the place is kept up nice enough. However, if you're planning on actually doing anything that requires much concentration or anything much more than running in to grab a book and running right back out, well, I'd probably go check out some other library instead. This place kind of blows.

I have such fond memories of childhood afternoons spent here with my mom and brother! It's definitely a fraction of the size of the downtown branch, but you can place a hold for any item and have it be transferred to pick up here if it's more convenient. The small rows of computers are usually busy and full. They have a great selection of movies, magazines, and CDs. The stand near the entrance usually has an impressive variety of new and/or relevant titles. There's a decent sized children's section, and I know this branch holds kid-friendly programming, especially in the summer. I always loved participating in their summer reading challenges. All in all, this location is clean, organized, with very friendly staff and is a great way to get the necessary library resources to the Northside of Holland!
