Cavanaugh Park

Play & Recreation

Situated in Lansing, Michigan, Cavanaugh Park is a green space in the heart of its neighborhood. This community location offers plenty of room to stretch your legs and embrace the outdoors right in the city.

The sprawling green spaces here are wonderfully versatile. Regardless of whether you're looking to kick around a soccer ball on the soccer field or catch a few innings at the ballfield, there's room for whatever game you have in mind. These open areas aren't just for organized sports though - they're well-suited for frisbee tossing, kite flying, or simply lounging on a blanket with a good book.

What You'll Find

On the east side of the park, kids can let their imaginations run wild at the playground area. Sitting conveniently next to an elementary school, the playground offers equipment that keeps children of all ages entertained.

Need a spot for a family gathering? The park's shelter provides welcome shade on sunny days, making it ideal for picnics and small celebrations. The picnic facilities are meant for anything from a casual lunch to a planned get-together.

Natural Escape

One of the park's hidden treasures is its wooded areas, where you can escape the hustle and bustle for a moment. These pockets of nature support a surprising variety of local wildlife - keep your eyes peeled and you might spot some interesting birds or small animals going about their day.

Four-legged family members are welcome too! The park is dog-friendly, just remember to keep your pup on a leash during your visit.

Getting There

Larger than a football field, Cavanaugh Park gives you plenty of space to find your own corner of tranquility. Just note that parking is somewhat limited, so you might want to consider walking if you live nearby or planning your visit during less busy hours.
