<p>From its earliest days as a pioneer village, Grand Rapids, Michigan, has made creative use of its green space - from a tiny slice of land barely able to accommodate two people to a huge woodland. This new, colorful history provides a closer look at how the city's park system came to be. Discover where the first parks were located and how new parks were developed. Retrace your own steps in the parks you grew up with. And see how a new group formed to promote parks, has become a force in protecting, preserving and enriching the city's green space. This book was underwritten by the Grand Rapids Historical Commission. The text was produced by Commission members. Research material and images came from historical archives and Commission members.</p>
