A lot of times, cities and nice sunsets don't necessarily go hand in hand. However, Lookout Park makes a nice attempt to flip the script on that. It's a simple park just outside of downtown that overlooks the Grand River valley. As such, the view is pretty spectacular. The only reason I have a hard time giving this park five stars is that unless you're a local that's coming here on foot, finding a place to park your vehicle can be tricky. Like me, you may need to park a block or two away and walk to the park since it does get a bit crowded towards dusk. However, if you arrive fairly early, you may not get just a great view, but a great parking spot to go with it.

Today, my husband brought me here for the first time! It is so beautiful!!! You can see for miles around the city. I am so excited to come back again and again as the seasons change. I am going to take a lot of pictures so I can see how the view changes in different seasons and different weather. I will then post my pics here so everyone can join me as I discover and document how beautiful our city can be when viewed from up above!!!

Simple place but parking area was closed. There's no parking on the street though there was plenty of cars parked there. Has swings that sit at the top that are metal and wide enough for about five people. There's three benches that are in the center and stairs that go down to the city that have been blocked off as they are eroding however this is a very beautiful view and I can imagine sunset here would be beautiful.

This is a way understated Park in GR that is always gorgeous, but especially at sunset. Lots of folks bring blankets, picnics, pups - always a good experience. It is annoying the GRPD doesn't have the staffing to show up when shots are fired in the neighborhood but always has enough staffing to go through the park announcing it is 9:26pm and sunset was at 9:24pm - the park is CLOSED!!

Lookout park has great views of Grand Rapids. Good to go at a low demand time due to scarce parking. Stairs on the south side going down to the bottom of the hill sufficiently decrepit that it is barricaded off. Short walks on top of hill with longer walks possible at the bottom of the hill. Nice ball fields and the hill leading down to them shows great potential for sledding.
