Tucked between several manufacturing warehouses and the green, open spaces and trails of Lamar Park
Tucked between several manufacturing warehouses and the green, open spaces and trails of Lamar Park and Millenium Park, Wyoming Park is a small part of the greater Wyoming area. "Wyoming is a fantastic place to live," says Emily Bonello, a local Wyoming resident and lifelong west Michigander. "There's a balance of quiet neighborhoods but lots of restaurants and shopping locations, too." Wyoming Park is within convenient commuting distance to the greater Grand Rapids area and Holland but has the advantage of being more affordable than those areas. Not far from Rivertown Crossings shopping mall or the nearby city of Grandville, residents in Wyoming Park have access to several major shopping centers and schools. Students study within the Wyoming Public Schools district, which is graded an overall B-minus on Niche.
Tucked between parks and industrial spaces, Wyoming Park is just south of Grand Rapids, MI.
Many homes in Wyoming Park offer large front and back yards.

Acres of parks and trails in Kent County
The entire Wyoming area is proud to include 21 parks for residents to enjoy year-round. Hopewell Indian Mounds Park is a United States national historic park north of the neighborhood, which is the location of the best-preserved Hopewell mounds in the western region of the Great Lakes. Further north is Millennium Park, which has several acres of hiking trails, a beach and boardwalks over the wetlands. The Kent Trails at Ivanrest Trailhead stretch several miles throughout the neighborhood and Wyoming itself. “Access to the Kent Trail system is great. It’s easy for me to go for a walk, run or ride bikes with my family,” Bonello says. Wyoming Park residents can also fish, play disc golf or watch a Little League ballgame at Lamar Park, which features a playground, splash pad and small rock-climbing wall.
