There may not be much snow on the ground, but this weekend, there was plenty of snow to enjoy at the new Hawk Island Park Tubing and Snowboarding Hill.
I have been following the progress of the new hill on Facebook and after much anticipation, the hill finally opened President’s Weekend.
I took my sometimes hard to please teenage daughter and her friend. The hill was larger than we expected and despite the greenish, brown grass that surrounded the area, there was plenty of snow on the hill. The park provides the tubes and there is a tow rope to take you up to the top. I had not planned to tube, but it looked like so much fun, I gave it a try too. I was glad it did! There is also a space on the hill for snowboarders along with a couple of jumps and rails.
The day we visited was beautiful and sunny. If it’s too cold, there is a warming house where you can purchase hot drinks. The cost to tube is $7.00 per person or a maximum of $20.00 for a family. The day we visited, it was free. Hawk Island Park is located on Cavanaugh in South Lansing, between Pennsylvania and Aurelius. It is part of the Ingham County Park System and there is a $3.00 to $5.00 fee to enter the park depending on where you reside.
I am excited there is new recreational opportunity available in Lansing. Tubing is truly fun for all ages and I encourage you to give it a try!
