Centennial Park was originally set aside as the village market area, but was redeveloped and dedicated to park use in 1876. Located between 10th and 12th Streets and River and Central Avenues, this 5.6 acre park contains pedestrian walkways, gazebo with restrooms, tulip beds, a fountain, reflecting pool and many mature shade trees.
The Veterans Memorial, a Michigan Historic marker honoring Dutch settlers in Michigan and a statue of Albertus Van Raalte are located here. This park has also contained a seasonal tropical plant display since the Victorian era and serves as a major performance venue.
