Project Background

Highland Park is one of the City of Grand Rapids' most unique public spaces. This large-scale community park has multiple open greens, valuable natural habitats, and a variety of recreation amenities.

The City of Grand Rapids completed a master plan for Highland Park in 2014.  Since then, several improvements have occurred:

• New splash pad
• New accessible pathways and lighting
• Removal of old pool and poolhouse
• Addition of disc golf course
• Tree plantings

With several master plan improvements accomplished in recent years and the anticipated placement of a new boulder wall (rock climbing) in the park this summer, the City is evaluating the park master plan for necessary updates to enhance safety, usability, and vibrancy of the south side of the park and exisitng natural areas.
