The
boardwalk that begins at the west end of the park follows Buck Creek. It is a
joint venture with the City of Wyoming. The path extends to Lamar Park (City of
Wyoming). Park activities and facilities include: baseball diamonds, biking,
cross country skiing, fishing, an 18-hole golf course, picnicking,
hiking/walking, a playground, an open shelterhouse, and restrooms. All the
trails at Palmer are closed to motorized uses except for golf carts on the cart
paths at Kaufman Golf Course. The trails are also closed to equestrians. Bike
use is only allowed on the paved Buck Creek Trail. In the winter, Palmer Park
and Kaufman Golf Course switch gears to become one of the best cross-country
skiing sites in the Grand Rapids area. Palmer Park also offers over 300 acres of greenspace,
including a beautiful wooded main recreation area popular for group picnics and
events.
