Reed City, Rambadt Park, Conclusion

In concluding the picture tour of Reed City’s Rambadt Park, a park created with community participation, I’d like to remind you that you’re invited to join us tomorrow evening for our next meeting.
  • Join the CPA in Stanley Johnston Park, at 6:30pm on Tuesday, August 29th. We’ll be gathering under the covered pavilion.
Rambadt Park, like many of South Haven’s parks, accomodates all ages and interests. But unique to Reed City’s prototype is the great donation of community involvement that is significant both in that endeavor as well as being ahead of its time. Started in the mid 1970s, this park now reflects a vision of preserving green space, honoring nature, as well as honoring the community of public service people and loved ones. I hope you have enjoyed this picture tour as much as I did walking the land.
The park’s planning allowed for bird houses as well as a playground. Also included was a modest band shell which the artist, who was painting there under the tall trees, said is used for jazz evenings. She told me everyone brings a blanket and picnic to enjoy the entertainment.
