Parks and Rec

North Kent Community Enrichment

 A unique partnership between City of Cedar Springs and the Cedar Springs Public School System, and Algoma, and Solon Townships.  Nelson Township withdrew support from NKCE, in 2020 after the uncertainty of NKCE future.
NKCE works together to provide recreational programs, enrichment programs and community activities for those in the Northern Kent County areas.

Gordon Park

Acquired from the State of Michigan in 1924, Gordon Park was the first park in the Kent County Parks system. Due to its location on Northland Drive, the park quickly became a popular stopover for travelers. Today, its open tree canopies and scenic natural areas make it a favorite park for picnicking. Gordon Park also serves as a trailhead for the Fred Meijer White Pine State Trail.

The White Pine Trail is Michigan’s longest rail/trail stretching a distance of just under 100 miles on the former Grand Rapids and Indiana rail bed.  The trail reaches from the north end of Grand Rapids to Cadillac.  Future trails will intersect the White Pine establishing it as the backbone of the Michigan rail/trail system.
