Looking for some green space to get some fresh air?  If so then you’ve come to the right place!  Each of Albion’s 17 parks has a story related to the people of Albion. 

Albion’s Outdoor Spaces


Victory Park

Victory Park – with its iconic waterfall shown above, was begun with a plan in the year 1919 in honor and memory of our soldiers and sailors who served in World War I.  Victory Park is also the home of Albion’s “Sledding Hill,” and the Victory Park bandshell, where free music is offered many summer Sunday evenings. Learn more about the waterfall in Victory Park here: https://albionmich.net/victory-park-waterfall-albion-michigan-aerial-view/

Holland Park
Holland Park, named for Robert Holland, honors those who worked to bring about equity in the education of Albion’s youth. This park was once the home of a segregated school in Albion.  Learn more about Holland Park on this link: AlbionMich.net/black-history
90 acres of parks

Albion’s residents and visitors enjoy the use of over 90 acres of land set aside for public use, plus 5 trails that pass through the community.  This web site includes information about the land, and the community resources of Albion, Michigan.  Learn more about the trails in Albion on this page: https://albionmich.net/trails/
