Howard Park is instead a re-imagined destination for locals and visitors alike. It’s a gathering place and an area for outdoor exploration. It’s fun, family friendly, and accessible.
A 16,000-square-foot ice feature transforms into a recreational park space in warmer seasons. During winter months, the trail will gently extend along rolling hills and over a bridge into the park, giving visitors a one of a kind winter skating experience.
The ADA accessible, state-of-the-art playground has more than 13,000 square feet of both innovative and traditional playground equipment. The playground is located within the ice trail footprint and has various levels of terrain.
A primary summer amenity of the park are the 1,500 square feet of interactive water fountains and jets.
The park’s location adjacent to the St. Joseph River informed the designers’ concept for the landscape architecture, which built on the idea of a flowing river.
