About This Spring

## Overview Spring Grove Park in Grandville, Michigan, is a charming community park that features a natural spring flowing through a rocky landscape. The spring water emerges naturally among the rocks, creating a scenic focal point within the park's green surroundings. While the spring is a lovely natural feature to observe, the water has not been confirmed as safe for drinking and it is unclear whether water collection is permitted. Visitors should treat the spring as a scenic attraction rather than a drinking water source. Located at 1800 Greenly St in Grandville — just minutes from Grand Rapids — Spring Grove Park is a popular local destination for families, picnickers, and nature lovers. The park is open daily from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, though hours may vary on holidays. ## Directions From Grand Rapids, Michigan: 1. Head west on **Highway 196 (Gerald R. Ford Freeway)**. 2.

The natural spring water flows visibly through a rocky area within the park, making for a pleasant and photogenic stop. The surrounding park grounds are well-maintained and include space for picnicking and relaxing outdoors — it's a great spot for a leisurely outing with friends and family. The park is easily accessible from the road, with the entrance located directly off Greenly Street. Because the spring water has not been tested or verified as potable, visitors should plan to enjoy it as a scenic feature rather than a water source. There is no clear signage or policy regarding water harvesting, so it's best to check with the City of Grandville Parks Department if you have questions about collecting water. Whether you're stopping by to see the spring, enjoy a picnic lunch, or simply stretch your legs on a drive through western Michigan, Spring Grove Park is a worthwhile and family-friendly destination.
