Millennium Park

Millennium Park is a large public recreation area along the Grand River with multiple waterfront sections and different activity zones. The property includes hiking trails, a swimming beach, boat launch areas, fishing spots, and volleyball courts spread across the landscape.

The site opened in 2000 after converting former industrial land into a public recreation area serving the region. This transformation was part of a regional effort to revitalize the riverfront and create accessible outdoor space for the community.

The park serves as a gathering place where people come together for picnics, celebrations, and outdoor play throughout the year. Community events and informal gatherings happen regularly at the shelters and open spaces along the water and trails.

The property is accessible for visitors with different interests, from swimmers to fishers and hikers of all levels. It is wise to bring appropriate clothing and gear depending on your chosen activity, and note that some areas have different conditions depending on the season.

The property maintains separate trail systems for different types of winter outings, with certain routes reserved for cross country skiing and others kept just for winter hiking. This allows visitors to make the most of the colder months and enjoy the riverscape blanketed in snow.
