Belknap and Lookout Park

Welcome to the great Belknap and Lookout Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This park was first established in 1874 and was renamed in 1932 in honor of Civil War soldier Captain Charles Belknap. On snowy winter days many people come here to go sledding. All of the athletic facilities are lighted so people can play at night.

These 2 parks touch each other so they share a profile.
