Hart Park is a 19.5-acre park on the Menominee River with so much to offer.

When you arrive, you will find that they have a nice amount of parking available, so finding a parking spot isn’t too much trouble here.  The park is huge and very well maintained, so you are sure to be impressed by the park's ability to fulfill all your park needs. 

The park offers a paved, stroller-accessible walking and biking trail which you can follow all around the park. Their main highlight for many is their large turf football stadium in which they offer large bleachers, lighting, and a sound system. If nobody is on the field, you can go on to run and play any games you would like, or even run around their track. However, if there is an event going on you can take up some of the other soccer fields or tennis courts instead to run and play. No matter what the occasion is, there are plenty of options available for everyone.

For the kiddos, they feature an extravagant, mind-blowing playground that is made to look like a treehouse. It features slides galore and so many cool things to explore, including a splash pad in the warmer months - your little ones will be entertained for hours. Feel free to bring along your furry friend from home if they are due for a walk, as this park is dog friendly. 

Since the park is located right along the river, no matter where you look you are sure to find incredible, scenic views. They offer plentiful picnic tables and park benches to sit and admire all the natural beauty that surrounds you. Although, if you are looking to have a nice picnic, you can bring along a blanket and lunch and this is the best opportunity for a fantastic picnic lunch by the river.
