Millennium Park connects four of the major cities in the area together, including Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Grandville, and Walker. When completed, the park will be twice as large as New York City's Central Park, at approximately 1,500 acres (6 km²).[1] The project began in 1998 when the Parks Department director Roger Sabine began planning for an expansion of Johnson Park. Sabine expanded the Johnson Park expansion into the 1,500 acre (6 km²) park project. The project was finally submitted to the Secchia Millennium Commission (SMC) later that year and later approved the project by which the Kent County Board of Commissioners named the park Millennium Park. The park celebrated its grand opening in July 2004.[2] The park is built on the former location of gypsum mines and gravel pits,[3] including the former location of the Domtar mine. Park features[1]
Recreational FishingThe park offers a unique fishing experience in an urban community. With a very short commute from downtown Grand Rapids, fishermen are able to enjoy a plethora of fishing locations and many off-season parking lots, which are free of charge. The lakes are home to a variety of panfish, both large and smallmouth bass, and even the occasional northern pike. The park offers boat rentals in the summer that can help fishermen reach their desired trophy fish.[7] With very few visitors in the early spring,the area is a delicacy for anglers during the most ideal season to seek out largemouth bass.[8] It is important to note that the DNR will often stop by to ensure that participants have purchased proper licenses. Additionally, for the health and safety of both the park and its visitors, everyone is encouraged to keep a safe distance from the native swan and goose populations. Norovirus outbreakIn July 2010, more than 120 visitors contracted norovirus. An epidemiologist stated the most likely cause was that someone who was sick with the virus brought it into the park environment.[9] Tests by the Kent County Health Department confirmed that norovirus was the causative agent.[10] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.kentcountyparks.org/millennium|title=Kent County Millennium Park|publisher=County of Kent|accessdate=3 February 2011}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.kentcountyparksfoundation.org/pdfs/Green_Places_Fall_2004.pdf|title=Millennium Park Officially Dedicated|date=Fall 2004|work=Green Places|publisher=Kent County Parks Department|accessdate=19 August 2010|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110726215121/http://www.kentcountyparksfoundation.org/pdfs/Green_Places_Fall_2004.pdf|archivedate=26 July 2011|df=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ocba.com/millennium%20park.pdf |title=Millenium Park, Kent County, Michigan |date= |publisher=O’Boyle, Cowell, Blalock, & Associates, Inc. |accessdate=2 February 2011 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090106152011/http://www.ocba.com/millennium%20park.pdf |archivedate=January 6, 2009 }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rapidgrowthmedia.com/devnews/hansen0701.aspx|title=Hansen Nature Trail opens in Grand Rapids' Millennium Park|last=Wood|first=Deborah Johnson|date=July 1, 2010|publisher=Rapid Growth Media|accessdate=19 August 2010}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2010/08/boat_house_plan_for_millennium.html|title=Boat house plan for Millennium Park approved|date=August 4, 2010|publisher=The Grand Rapids Press|accessdate=19 August 2010}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2010/06/grandville_family_celebrates_n.html|title=Grandville family celebrates new Millennium Park trail|last=Veselenak|first=David|date=June 25, 2010|publisher=The Grand Rapids Press|accessdate=19 August 2010}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Kent County Millennium Park|url=http://www.accesskent.com/CultureLeisureAndTransit/MillenniumPark/boating.htm|publisher=accessKent|accessdate=7 February 2013}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Seasonal Habits of the Largemouth Bass|url=http://www.bassresource.com/fish_biology/largemouth-seasonal-habits.html|publisher=Bassresource.com|accessdate=8 February 2013}} 9. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2010/07/new_theory_in_what_caused_many.html|title=New theory in what caused many to get sick at Millennium Park last weekend|date=July 21, 2010|website=|publisher=MLive Media|access-date=March 2016}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/kent_county/50-more-ill-after-Millennium-Park-swim |title=50+ more ill after Millennium Park swim |last=Stembol |first=Megan |date=21 Jul 2010 |publisher=WOOD TV8 |accessdate=19 August 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100724064921/http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/kent_county/50-more-ill-after-Millennium-Park-swim |archivedate=July 24, 2010 }} External links
