Local parks include the namesake Bassett Park and nearby Tecumseh Park
Bassett Park ticks all the boxes for a classic neighborhood park, from a playground and full basketball court to more than enough green space for kids to play tag around the trees. Just west of the Grand River, Tecumseh Park’s playground and picnic shelter are worth a visit, and the kayak launch is your nearest gateway to exploring the waterways of the greater Lansing area.

Bassett Park residents travel to Old Town for a bite to eat
Because of the decrease in skilled worker positions in Lansing automotive and manufacturing plants in the 1990s, “restaurant and retail options in the surrounding area can be scarce,” Child says. For many residents, the popular Old Town neighborhood is the place to be for an evening out, from slow-smoked sensations at Meat BBQ to drinks and arcade games at The Grid Arcade and Bar. Closer to home, El Azteco’s patio seating and Mexican fare are a good excuse for a leisurely lunch. Next-door Capital City BBQ is where you can get barbecue without a trip to Old Town, as well as pho, banh mi and other Vietnamese classics.
While you won’t find a convenience store around the corner, Gorman’s Food Market is your north-of-the-river, family-owned and -operated option for fresh produce and staple items. Head to the end of Sunset Avenue, past warehouses and treatment plants, to find Sunset Clay Studio, an art space that offers ceramic studio workshops, memberships and special events to celebrate local art in Northwestern Lansing.
Residents of Bassett Park can enjoy Capital City BBQ, which was featured in “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."
