About the Venue

Gratiot Park is one of the clearest accessible playground options in The Thumb, with official local sources describing accessible play features and Blue Water tourism materials specifically calling out a We-Go-Swing and We-Go-Round for wheelchair users. Families will find a modern play area, baby swings, benches, accessible parking, and an adjacent splash pad for warm-weather visits. The park works well for mixed-age outings and for caregivers who want a straightforward, no-fee outdoor stop with better-than-average access features.
