Mattawan Park is a popular community park in the heart of Mattawan, Michigan, known for its welcoming, pet-friendly atmosphere and abundant amenities. Conveniently located at 24601 Front St, this park is an excellent choice for dog owners looking for open spaces and shaded areas to exercise and relax with their pets. The park is wheelchair accessible, offers picnic tables, benches, and has a well-maintained playground for children, making it ideal for families looking to combine fun activities for kids and furry friends alike.
Both dogs and their owners appreciate the park’s ample shade, seasonal running water (including a bottle filling station and drinking fountain for both humans and dogs), and available restroom facilities. There is convenient public parking, plenty of grassy open space for dogs to run on-leash, and waste bins are scattered throughout to help keep the park clean. The park’s proximity to local favorites like Nonla Burger, Bird Dog, Mattawan Brewing, and Moo Moo Ice Cream makes it a great stop for visitors seeking pet-friendly things to do in Mattawan. With charcoal grills, a small RV spot nearby, and memorials honoring local heroes, Mattawan Park stands out as a vibrant hub for the local community and dog lovers alike.
Went there for a Trump rally. It was amazing. The only downfall to the whole thing was some disrespectful Biden supporters yelling obscenities in front of small children. We are all entitled to our opinions, but it is never right to be disrespectful intentionally and in front of kids. Not unexpected
Clean open, lots of shade and a bathroom. Seasonal running water, bottle filling station, human and dog drinking fountains. Sight distance from Nonla burger, bird dog, mattawan brewing, and Moo Moo ice cream shop. Equipment to play on. Built-in grills for charcoal that are free for public use. Trash cans all throughout so you can dispose of your items properly. A little stage at the end of the park, put on a show. Memorial to those who served the village in the mid section.
Big kids and little kids can both be entertained for sure. Great little park with ice cream nearby…our fave little coffee shop isn’t too far either. Plenty of space to have a nice little packed lunch or takeout from a nearby spot.

Cute park! Bring a blanket because with the porta potty, you can make a day or half day of it! Public parking across the street. BBQ for charcoal public use, 2 permanent tables, many benches, and plenty of room to run!
