Whistlestop Playground

Whistle Stop Park stands on the site of a former train depot and rail yard. Although Spring Lake Depot closed in 1957, the city wanted to include the area’s rich history in its new playground, so the park is a train themed design.

Great Lakes Recreation created a play space where children can visit the ticket booth, learn about weather events that might affect their journeys, play with the clock at the depot, and climb aboard the colorful train car!
