About the Venue

Milham Park is a large historic Kalamazoo park with multiple playground areas and a newer accessible playground added in 2023. Families will find mature trees, natural paths, restrooms, fountains, grills, and reservable picnic shelters, which makes the park especially practical for meetups and longer visits. It is a good fit for families who want inclusive play access without giving up the feel of a larger traditional city park.
