Kalamazoo Trail Blazin': Week Seven (Please Post)

Kalamazoo City’s largest community park is Spring Valley Park. Stretching more than 185 acres, Spring Valley Park is known for its rolling hills, lake, natural beauty and wildlife.

Many visitors to Spring Valley Park engage in fishing or playing on one of its two playgrounds. But the walker, runner or hiker might be most interested in the challenge brought on by more than two miles of rolling limestone-covered trails. Renowned as the most challenging (but most beautiful) part of the Borgess Half Marathon course, the terrain at Spring Valley Park is certain upgrade the average trail walk—even on the decline.

Spring Valley Park is open from 8 a.m. – 10 p.m., May 1 through October 1. It is accessible from Mt. Olivet Road, Brook Drive or Riverview Avenue. This park has both a restroom facility and drinking fountain.
