Bancroft Park, Lansing

Paths and open areas give local visitors a place for a walk, informal activity or a picnic away from the city’s busier streets.

Use the city’s park information and posted entrance guidance to choose a route. The photograph shows the actual Oak Street pedestrian entrance. Facilities and organized activities have their own rules, and outdoor access does not reserve a field or picnic area. Check current notices and trail conditions before setting out, particularly in wet or wintry weather. Keep to public routes and respect neighboring properties.
