About the Venue

Upjohn Park is one of Kalamazoo's strongest city-run inclusive play options thanks to its clearly identified Boundless Playground inside a larger active park.

The park also connects to the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail and sits near Kik Pool, making it useful for mixed-interest outings with siblings.
