Houseman Field Playground

If you’ve got kids spread across a wide age range, this place actually works for everyone without much compromise. The younger ones have their own play area to keep busy while older kids and teens take to the soccer field or open grass for whatever sport’s in season. Houseman Field gets used for real events too, so the facilities — including the restrooms — tend to be kept up better than your average park. Parking’s right there, which matters more than people admit. Grand Rapids families keep coming back here, and honestly it’s not hard to see why.
