Lansing Parks and Recreation......We have something for you!
Sign up online at  Online Registration for our classes and activities.

Winter is a great time to enjoy the outdoors in the City of Lansing Park or on our award winning Rivertrail.  The Trail is maintained year round for runners, walkers, and bikers.

Looking for nature trails?  Try Fenner Nature Center and warm up in the visitor center after the walk.  Start putting together your sled for the WLNZ/Lansing Parks and Recreation Cardboard Sled Contest on January 28th at Gier Community Center.  We also have some great sledding hills at Michigan Avenue, Gier, Quentin, Cavanaugh and Ranney Parks.

If you are in search of a hidden gem, go to Riverpoint Park where the Red Cedar and Grand River come together.  This park is a great fishing spot and is where the West extension of the Rivertrail begins.

Looking to stay indoors this winter?  Enjoy an exercise class to help with that New Year's Resolution or walk inside the Southside Community Center.  Learn a new skill by enrolling in one of our enrichment activities.  Work on that baseball swing in the batting cages or climb the rock wall at Gier Center.  Whatever it may be Lansing Parks and Recreation has something for you.
