Darrow Park, Traverse City

- Traverse City
Darrow Park sits at the northern edge of Traverse City’s Slabtown neighborhood, with an open lawn, play space and views toward West Grand Traverse Bay.
Its compact size makes it a convenient family break or picnic stop rather than a long-distance hiking destination.
Use the city’s park information to check current amenities and any work affecting access. The waterfront road and nearby bay should be considered when supervising children around the park. The photograph shows the playground and shaded lawn; it does not represent a lifeguarded beach or a large nature reserve.
