Old Farm Park

If you haven’t been to this Kentwood spot yet, you’re missing out. The pond views alone make it worth the trip, and the walking path that loops around it is genuinely one of the nicer ones in the area. Kids aged 2-12 get a solid play setup with a water feature that’ll keep them busy on warm days, while the adults can grab a bench under the shade trees or shoot around on the basketball court. The restrooms are actually clean — which, if you’re a park regular, you know is not something to take for granted. Disc golfers show up here too, so it’s got that easy, everyone’s-welcome kind of energy that makes it a reliable weekend choice for the whole family.
