From the Falling Waters Trail to Ella Sharp Park, Jackson is home to a number of beautiful parks and other outdoor activities that help it stand out among the other cities in Michigan. In fact, the largest park in Jackson-Ella Sharp Park-was bequeathed to the city in 1912.
Ella Sharp Park was developed in 1915 from the 562-acre farm of Ella W. Sharp, whom donated it to the city of Jackson after she passed. Between its borders along the Grand River are a challenging 18-hole golf course, miles of hiking trails, Olympic-size swimming pool and many other athletic fields. The acclaimed Ella Sharp Museum of Art and History, which was once Ella's home, gives park-goers a chance to appreciate the beauty of nature up close.
Visit the City of Jackson's Parks and Recreation division to discover more about all the outdoor recreation opportunities Jackson has to offer.
