Located just a quick 10-minute drive from Burton and right off I-69, this spot is pure Michigan magic—packed with charm, green space, historic flair, and good ol’ hometown vibes.

✨So what makes Kearsley Park so special?
Let’s break it down...

🛝 Tons of Space for All the Fun Stuff
Kearsley Park isn’t just your average community park—it’s a sprawling 57-acre playground for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re bringing the kiddos for some playground time, organizing a summer picnic with the crew, or just looking for a chill spot to walk the dog, this park delivers.

• 🌲Shady trails perfect for morning strolls or evening jogs

• 🏀Basketball courts & open fields for spontaneous games

• 🎨Splash of art and murals that make every corner Instagram-worthy

• 🐿️ Wildlife sightings galore—yup, squirrels, birds, and even the occasional fox!

🎭 Did Someone Say Outdoor Theater?!
Here’s the real kicker—Kearsley Park is home to the Kearsley Park Pavilion, a historic structure that’s hosted all kinds of community events since the early 1900s. Today, it’s a hotspot for live outdoor theater performances, community concerts, and local food truck gatherings. You haven’t lived until you’ve watched a Shakespeare play under the Michigan stars while munching on tacos from a Flint food truck. Straight vibes.
