History

Crescent Park is thought to be Grand Rapids’ oldest park.[1] The land was deeded to the city for use as a park in October 1858, and received its name from the outline of the land, a half-moon shape originally bounded by roads.[2] The west side of the park contains a steep hill which was originally bisected by a flight of 56 stone steps. Just east of the head of the steps was a water fountain.[2][3]

Renovation

Crescent Park was renovated in 2010 in conjunction with the expansion of the Van Andel Institute. Friends of Crescent Park, a nonprofit organization, was created to renovate and maintain the park.[4] The new park contains a plaza in tribute to those who have found hope from the many medical facilities around the park and along the Medical Mile.[5]

Amenities

Metal picnic tables, stone benches, metered parking on Bostwick Ave, long curving stairway, view of downtown Grand Rapids, lawn area, shaded grass, curving walkways, cancer survivor plaza
