Parks

We're the city with 23 Parks! We love our green spaces. We love to have places to play catch, play tennis, have picnics, and talk about how cool it is that we live in a city with 500 acres of parks. Our great parks are one more reason to love Holland, Michigan.

The City of Holland Parks Department is responsible for:

  •  Maintaining City parks, open areas, tot lots, and streetscape landscaping
  • Planting and maintaining tulip beds, lanes, and boulevards
  • Providing backdrop for Holland's annual Tulip Time Festival
  • Trimming, planting, and removal of trees in the public park system and the public right-of-way
