Lake Lansing Park South

A beautiful November day for a walk at an amazing park! Well maintained walkways, gardens, lawn & beach areas. Wonderful dock rebuild. A great place to walk, sit at lakeside, picnic, or let the kids enjoy the giant play space. Wear a mask & socially distance.

It was so peaceful this morning! My husband and I were all by ourselves as we watched the sun come up.

Great place for family or just hanging out. Theres a lot of space so people can social distance. The lakefront is nice and the water want cold at all when we visited. Will definitely be coming back

Great park. First the playground area is of a large size and is shaded by trees; there are 2-5 and 5-12 year-old areas. The picnic area is huge and all shaded; many tables and bbqs are available. The beach area is very nice and will work for all ages. There is a good amount of parking (for a fee) and a concession stand which was not open due to the current pandemic restrictions.

Nice park to just relax. Pavilions and large playground area. No trails to walk that we found. $3 to enter south entrance for county residents, $5 otherwise.

Lovely place. Nice size lake. Huge playscape for kids, Ample restrooms

I was seeing it on a cloudy Autumn day. I suspect on a hot Summer day, I would be much more impressed.

Ill be honest, Ive never been a huge fan of Lake Lansing since the contamination years ago. But now that its safe and seeing how much my kids loved playing on the beach I cant wait to take them back

Enjoyed my me time. Love that I could sit away from people and have my own picnic without interruptions.

Its a nice place you can go swimming in the lake and gave a birthday party there

What a beautiful day and a beautiful place to be, this park is amazing, I love it here

Nice park. The fishing could be better. Lot of boat traffic bouncing the dock while fishing but definitely family friendly.

Great park. Well maintained, a good place to spend an afternoon with fam and friends!

They concessions were open, it was a beautiful day outside, and the grass was freshly cut and the beach area was very nice.

Nice place, plenty of picnic tables and a beach. Parking is $3 for locals and $5 for non-county residents.

Great park with plenty of activities! Great performance shelter to enjoy some free music on a Friday night!

This park located at Haslett, MI ..we used to stroll at on weekends since we settled down at East lansing ..they have vast area for BBQ setting ..good playground for kids ..and beautiful park with beach for lake.lansing ..

We enjoy this park. Its on Ingham Countys largest lake and has been established for over 100 years. The only reason for a 4-star review is the COVID closure of the beach this summer and a dirt parking lot (clean cars will be dusty upon departure ). Otherwise it gets five. There are many activities from the grass spaces, to sand volleyball, swimming, fishing, a bandshell for events and summer concerts, pavilions and grilling spaces and pedal boat and kayak rentals. This is a gem of a park in the northeastern part of the county.

Rented the space attached to concessions. It was good view of the lake and convenient with bathrooms right there all for not a bad price.

Nice place, beautiful lake, consession stand, boat rental, lots of space to play sports and usually you can swim in the lake. Some people fish in there.

This place is great with a great water front, huge park with alot of things to do. Volleyball, watching shows, and a great kids area. Parking is cheap to make this a low cost event.

Very clean park. Safely distanced.

One of the best parks in the Lansing area. It has everything including a beach.Note: no alcohol or dogs allowed

Great place to go

We had a covid-19 grossly going away party here with family and friends. Bathrooms are a bit far from the picnic area but other than that we had a wonderful time.

Great place for family outings, gatherings, or perhaps just a little fun solo. Paddle boat rentals are cheap prices. there is a consession building with restrooms. Lifeguards patrol the Beach. Large parking areas And plenty of more...

Its such a nice place to bring my children. Were all pretty upset that its closed for the season.

Amazing place for gatherings or just relaxing. Water is pretty clear, Sandy and not full of seaweed. Beautiful view.No smoking of any kind, even vapor pens. So thats a little ridiculous. Also, no water toys are not allowed, no flotation devices besides life jackets. Beach toys are ok, but not really fun for little ones.

I needed to find myself and went to lake Lansing park and it made me feel good

Beautiful beach with a clean lake! Perfect for a family day out at the beach and park.

No floaties or toys allowed....Very unsafe for toddlers and babies who like to swim .

The beach is ok, if you want trails go to the north park.

One if my favorite places

Social distancing. Pleasant. Would return.

Its a great lake, very nice and a lot of family come here with there children. $5 if you are from another county and u can rent a boat for $6/30 minutes

Nice public park and beach area. Concessions and paddle boat rentals are available in the summer months. There are three bars/ restaurants right across the street, two have roof top patios that serve food and drinks. There is a fee for parking that is minimal.

Good for family. Excellent play ground. Good view.

Love the scenery! We go all the time to have picnics.

Nice clean great place to swim go to parks with kids

This park always has plenty of space to have fun! A lifeguard on duty nearly everyday and opportunities for fishing and paddle boats! My daughter and I just love chasing eachother thru the kids park! Absolutely love this place!

Very nice lake! Lifeguards on duty.

Nice park, a good place to have parties.

Great little park. Nice place for a family outing.

Big park area and decent size swimming area. Quite a few snall patches of weeds in the lake. Very rocky further out. Lifeguard present. Dont plan on bringing anything fun for the water. Rafts, balls, kids arm floaties, etc. They have life vests for rent and paddle boats. Also available is a nice big play area, pavilions, bbq grills, and concession stands.

Wonderful park, lots of shade, great people.

A great place for meditation sometimes

Very fun swimming in the lake and playing board game.

Very nice family friendly park with lotsa activities!!!+

They only had the land area open. No swimming or park just the grass.

Summertime fun in the sun and Friday night concerts all season long. Life guarded beach with the lake offering some good fishing. Fun to be had by all.

Lots of beautiful room, park, water, grounds.

Always a great place to visit

Beautiful and clean park. Great place to listen to music in the park on Fridays during summer months.

Very clean park with clean water and nice sand at the beach.

This park used to be so fun, however, in recent years it has really been neglected. The beach area is still nice, and so is the grass area. The climber for the kids keeps them occupied for a bit, but the big wheeler track needs a ton of attention. The first time we found the track there were very few big wheelers to use, almost all were broken. I brought my son back with his own and he rode for a while, but quickly, other kids wanted turns. Although I believe in turns, it took long enough that it was time enough where we had to leave and had trouble getting the big wheeler back. The next two years we went back and its worse and worse, there is carnage of broken big wheelers and tricycles all over. I wish something could be done because this is the only track I know of in this community.

Love the trails and the beautiful scenery

The free Friday night family concerts are wonderful. The music is always great. There is a very large and open playground for the children along with a bounce house and a inflatable slider available on Friday nights only.

Great place to bring your kids! I suggest it for 10 and under. There’s a small beach where they can swim, a great wooden playground, and a tricycle track for little kids. Also lots of great shady/grassy spots for picnics.

Do not take any floating device. Or balls. You can’t throw balls in the water. Only in the designated area behind the lake. Dead seagulls. Trash around water. Nats everywhere. They need to spray for mosquitoes. For what it is, it was fine, but the kids didn’t have much to do given they couldn’t have anything in the water or toss a football back and forth. First time there and won’t go back.

Nice place for picnics and swimming. Families can spend good time. Admission is for $3 (residence) and $5. There is parking space. Public bathrooms. Boats and paddle boats for rent. There are shades, picnic tables and chairs, and grills.

Enjoyed the clean and quiet surroundings.

Our favorite swimming place in the summer! With a big playground nearby, lots of space on the lawn and surveillance of the swimming areas.

Relaxing family friendly place to picnic, swim, fish

Nice place to spend a day outdoors!

Nice park on the lake. Obviously the park is on the side of Lake Lansing. There used to be an amusement park located at the site. Now there are ample picnic spots, lake front beach, docks, volleyball nets, an awesome playground, pavilions, and a stage that showcases local musicians during the summer.The playground is an awesome wooden structure and even offers a little go kart track. The kids always love hitting the park. There are a few bars located right near the park if you want a drink and/or a bite to eat while hanging at the park. There is also a Quality Dairy and an ice cream shop right across the street.At the docks you can fish or even rent paddle boats. The price is reasonable as is the cost for parking during the summer. There is decent fishing on the lake and typically sees a lot of ice fishing during the colder months.

Had a friends daughters graduating party here. 3 of us met up here who were all friends in high school. Spent 3 hours talking about the old days and the exciting stuff we were still doing today. Take time to meet friends and family in places like this. 3 months later we lost Chris. Was not even 50. Good shape. Fell dead of heart attack mowing the grass on his farm. Im too busy. I dont have time. I dont like his wife. He always dresses funny. His dog is ugly. People all make excuses to NOT go to these things but its the people that matter. The little things. Take time to take the photos and the video and to eat and laugh and be with your friends and family. It was not gee I should of gone and seen Chris or I should of done this. All we talked about was the great time we had here at the park and the party just a few months earlier....we made our own last fond memory of our great friend Chris and we never ever thought it would be the last one we made.

Not Much Fun for Families with KidsToys including floating devices, frisbees, balls are NOT allowed on the beachAllowed water area is for wading only...If you and your kids, have fun sitting on shore looking at the water, then this is the place for you!

Nice park. Plenty of space for gatherings and swimming

Lake Lansing is fantastic! Our kids love the beach playground, which has a nice wooden castle with slides, tires, a wooden car, and swings. Swimming here is also great, and the lake is open to boating and fishing. There are concession stands open in the summer, and a couple of nearby restaurants.

It is a family friendly place. They have a swimming area, roped off, with lifeguards, paddle boat rentals and every Friday at 7pm they have free concerts. Great place!

Great when lightly populated; no toys in the water... kind of a bummer, but I think I understand the purpose behind the rule (lifeguard support/ courtesy to swimmers).

LOOOOOOOOVE this place!

Nice green place overlooking Lake Lansing. Places to picnic and grills. Lots of room for the kids to run and toys to play on. Beach is open during summer weather. Plenty of parking. Take some time here to decompress and recharge your energies.

Nice big lake in haslett. Its not that far from my house either. Ive only been there once but I had fun. I went ice fishing there and was very surprised to see he ice was at least 8 thick. I didnt really catch anything except a 9 crappie but thats how fishing is. I cant wait to see how it is in the spring and summer.

Plenty of room for everything and everyone. Shade and tanning spots. Beach for families and canoes rentals. Available and moderately clean bathrooms. A great place for a nice quick picnic or full on grilling time.

Nice park with kids playing area. Swimming and boats friendly

A big nice public park loaded with running trails and things for kids to do. Its a very lovely place to go if youd like to walk on a trail to clear your mind, play basketball, or run on a trail with friends. Depending on the time of year, it can be quite scenic as well! The park is very well-kept, and Ive always enjoyed my time here.

My son loves the beach & the playground. Very nice place to go to... Big fans.

Lake Lansing has come a long way over the years! We love being at Lake Lansing. Beautiful and clean park and lake!

I love the park! Decent little clean beach with a picnic area! But the park is all wood and awesome!

I was surprised to have to pay to enter a state park but once inside I was pleased with what I saw. The park is beautiful and the playground was great for my kids

This place is just gorgeous. Its clean, family friendly and an oasis. Well be here all summer!

Our church had worship in the park here and baptisms. It was a great time and a place to do this.

Nice place to spend quality time with your better half

Place is pretty however we got there got in the water 5 minutes later they made every one get out for 15 minutes so the life guard could swim thats insane then we are told to go back in an as we are just about to put our feet in the water they make everyone get back out for 30 minutes. Not a great place to have a great time. Too much time is given to the employees to swim an have fun instead of the guest. It is beautiful though.

You have to pay the day rate or have a state park pass. Of course, they will sell you a pass as well.It is a nice little park. It has lots of shade as well as a large open grass area in front of the lake. There are sidewalks everywhere, including next to the waters edge. If I had a disabled friend or relative, I would take them here.There are modern bathrooms in the middle of the park with a concession window. You can rent or reserve(I dont know which) pavilions with barbecues. You can rent peddle or small aluminum boats. There is a fishing dock at the end farthest away from the dirt parking lot. There is a nice wooden playground for younger kids.The best part for families is the wading/swim area in the lake. It is very shallow with a nice sandy bottom. Perfect for toddlers or younger kids. You can set your picnic up on the grass next to the sidewalk that borders the lake. The kids can walk across three feet of sidewalk, then step down six inches into the the waters edge. Not any extras for older kids except for the big grassy area for frisbee, ladder bar, corn hole, etc.. If you are not bringing Middle or High Schoolers, this place is 5 stars.

Nice, did some sight seeing. Its summer! So now some fun... Enjoyed myself.

Closed (open only for riche people)

Cant swim till after 12 cause lifeguards r not Scheduled in till then and the sound of thunder caused a 1hr long evacuation of the entire swimming and beach areas,( never even rained) but is a beautiful park and facilities were nice I guess over all I just picked a bad day to go

Lots of space, in sun and shade. Great playground. Beautiful water and nice lifeguards/staff.

A nice Park well maintained by the staff there. The beach is pretty good too.

Nice place for family

Nice place to have a lazy afternoon or fish or play.

Great park— I didn’t know it existed until I went there for an event. Cheap parking pass plus lake access? Perfect.Lots of space to walk, bike, frisbee, volleyball or whatever you’re into. Take a walk on the beach or sit on the dock and watch the waves roll by.There’s a perfect little stand of trees to set up a hammock or two so bring a friend and post up there.

Its a beautiful place for spending the weekend, especially with hot weather. Volleyball courts and a good beach available

Outdoor fun times! I go kayaking out on lake lansing frequently and its alot of fun. I use the boat launch at the south park and it usually quite busy depending on the day and time.

CLEAN...! Family place to go for sure.. Grills and picnic table.. there is a play ground Lake and BIG wheels... How Fun

Except for the usual life guard calls, this place is a perfect picnic hangout with friends/family.

Nice and relaxing view. During summertime there are paddleboats for rent.

My kids love to fish there.
