Ranney Park — Attraction in Lansing

What a lovely addition to the Frandor area and a win for the environment. The water is stormwater runoff, which is filtered through the ponds before it hits the river. I love what they've done here.

The waterfall is lovely, there are ducks and tons of native flowers that have been put in. There are pathways to have a stroll. I can't wait until the new trees have a full canopy and the wildflowers take over. I took a hike up the big hill (Frandor Mountain I call it) and that's my new spot for sunsets over the city.

Ample parking near the ball diamond...
