Nice big park a lot of baseball feilds a few open field a riverwalk and a walking bridge on the water.... This is the walking place recreational spot for Bay City
Beautiful view in all directions, play equipment is newer, and no graffiti on everything. Recommended. Large parking. River walk is nice too. 3 different slides also.
The view is absolutely beautiful. The porta johns need better up to.
Nice park to take the family.. good fishing and great place to watch the fireworks during bay citys fireworks display
Beautiful park! Walk along the river, play with your kiddos at the park, or just enjoy the breeze. Lots of wildlife and commotion. One star removed for bathrooms. Waste almost up to the seat, and no toilet paper in either stall... with how busy the park is, these should be serviced more regularly.
Nice little park to walk around, check out the water and see Bay City.
Beautiful wildlife and good for fishing 🎣
The park was clean and the facilities were well maintained. My children love playing there on the playset, and it is a good spot to play Pokémon go. Small children should not be left unattended due to the park being right next to the saginaw River
Nice park on an island in the saginaw river in bay city . Connects by bridge to other parks and the river walk.
It was such a great place to take my son to play and for us to have a picnic lunch. Id recommend it for anyone. The water is beautiful ❤️
This park is nice. Some good play equipment for children, mostly for younger kids, but my 10-year old enjoys it. Its clean, well maintain and by the river. Theres a covered picnic area. This is another place I like to play Pokemon go. There are two EX eligible gyms and a few pokestops.
Nice fishing spot do not keep any of the catfish good place for the kids to fish and awesome spot to watch fireworks
Cool park been going here since I was a boy, awesome place to play pokemon go, also a nice place to fish or even have a b,day party at the pavilion, there is also a bike repair station with tools witch I think is very neat.
Wonderful place to come, relax a bit, and watch the waterfowl and boats and just chill. Beautiful walkways to manuever around the entire area and even get in some fishing. We love it.
Nice little park in Bay City, Michigan.A Great place to watchGreat Lakes Freighters move upand down the Sagiaw River..UP CLOSE
Adorable park. I am so glad I found it. I am out of town and wanted a place for lunch and a playground for kiddo. I got so much more. Gorgeous views and lovely river walk.
Wasnt at the park but was anchored on the river on the pontoon to watch the July 4th main event fireworks 2019! Park was full so was the river and it was windy. 16 mph wind with 19mph gusts. Still nice!
We were here two years in row for fireworks nice place to watch them
Can be creepy mid day and near dusk.
Great spot to chill out. Many canadian geese and swans. I did my part to save the world a little bit longer by picking up glass and junk! I didnt get to all of it but i left with about 5 lbs of at least glass!
Ducks and Canadian Geese and much more.
It was clean, and had a nice kitchen with a lot of refrigerators. It also had access to the bathrooms behind the kitchen area .they furnished the toilet paper and soap. It has a very nice view of the river.
Fantastic. Checking my local fauna
Beautiful place to stop. Beautiful for walking, riding, or jogging on the bike trails.
Small but fun for the kids. The walk on the bridge is so relaxing, be sure to not miss it
Great breeze off the water! Wonderful shade from the trees!
Totally ruined by the people that go here. I witnessed a child dangling from the top of a 15-20 foot slide by her brothers hands. Mother stood there and told the son that he better not drop her instead of going there to catch her kid if she were to fall and injure herself!! Not the place to be or be seen..
Very cozy and very clean...if I see paper on the ground , Ill pick it up . I love the trees for shade and also really appreciate the electric plugs available to charge your phone.. Absolutely my Favorite place
Great play area for kids and adults alike but the one thing I have to say and not sure if it can be taken care is all goose and other bird droppings on all the walking paths at the park wishing it could be cleaned up.
Perfect spot for bay city firworks festival. bring your kids and a cooler and enjoy the 3 day spectacular with one of the biggest displays in northeast U.S.. on a little island surrounded by water.
Lots of room, surrounded by water. Many benches and picnic tables, also has a pavilion for use with the option to rent out for parties.
Great place to visit
Nice place to begin a walk in the park and around the river
Beautiful scenery and wonderful place to take the kids!
I love this park, its clean parking lot is huge and I love the ducks!
Lots of beautiful walkways. Childrens play area, and picnic tables
Perfect Outdoors right now. Probably the best place to be in Bay City along the river.
Great Place to Watch the Fireworks in July. Lots of Parking and Entrance to the Riverwalk. Home of the Bay City Lions Club Pavillion.
It was a lot of Canadian geese and ducks who you can tell are used to people feeding them because they tried to attack
Very nice a lot of wild life today to view. A lot of ducks. A very nice walk or biking.
River walk is awesome
Nice park with the ability to drop a line (fish). many walkers come through here. safe place to bring family and play.
This is a good park for families. You can fish, there is a playground, and it connects to the Riverwalk. There is also a large, grassy field.
Great place to fish, playground for kids , picnick tables and grills. But the best is a great spot for 4th of July fire works
Nice little park with a playground for the kids, fishing areas and nice Riverwalk.
Nice place to have a picnic with the family or just go on a walk, also they have a bike repair station if you need it 🙂
Very decent park. Well kept with plenty of natural shade, large playscape, and large gazebo. Sandwiched right in between the river fork.
Very clean! Big and open. We had a blast here and will be planning more outings at this park.
Very nice place.
Serene winter experience. Relaxing to watch the ducks trying to find food and and shelter
The Bay City Lions club and middle school Leos from Handy and Christa McAuliffe cleaned and spruced up the park.
Clean and quiet. Great spot to relax and fish. Picnic tables are available. Has public bathrooms.

A great place to picnic, fish in the Saginaw River, and watch an occasional ship move down the river.
Littered with trash, porta Jons full and disgusting with feeces everywhere in them, goose feeces covered walking paths.
Love the family atmosphere with the playground and ball field. Clean park with duck and geese!

2021-08-15Nice area to walk, fish or have a picnic and relax. There is an area where you can park be really close to a picnic table and by the water. It makes it accessible for someone in a wheelchair or person who cant walk a long distance. It is also pet friendly.

2022-06-11Great place to bike, fish or just take in the sites.The day we visited there were a bunch of different kinds of birds hanging out harmoniously.
Review №3
2022-06-17There is a boardwalk that takes you pretty far into the river. There is a park for the kids and also plenty of room for biking. Also there is usually a heard of ducks that are very friendly.

2022-06-26First time experiencing the river walk. Absolutely loved it. Didnt really hang in the park much but it seemed very nice. Im not super familiar with Bay City, this is just where my friend took me to show my part of the river walk...

2022-05-08I had kids ranging from 10-2 and all of them loved it. Lots of things to climb on and plenty of room to run around. Pavilions thru out to use for picnic/parties.

2022-06-06I rented out Bigelow park pavilion for my baby shower. We chose this park due to the kitchen you have access to and the indoor bathrooms. We were told just a couple days before the event that the kitchen and bathrooms wouldnt be working. Giving us no time to find a new venue. So we werent able to use any of those for my party. And on top of that none of the electricity would work for our food. We tried plugging in 3 crock pots and everytime you turned them on it tripped all the breakers. We werent able to keep any of our food hot.We were told that none of this effected the price of the rental because they price according to pavilion size and not because of the other amenities. So we still had to pay full price.Would give zero stars but the park itself, right on the water, is pretty and has a nice playground for the kids.

2021-03-13This park is so family orientated. The river is beautiful. Lots of fishing areas available with benches to sit on.

2021-10-13Great place for photography, fishing, exercise since its tied into the riverfront walk, playground for kids, and a pavilion for holding family events.

2021-07-18I was in Bay City on New Years Eve when I saw the sign for Bigelow Park. My friend back and I went shopping in Saginaw we wanted to go to cracker barrel and the closest one was Bay City so we shot over had some lunch and I had to take my best good friend Beth Bigelow to Bigelow Park. Minus the fact that there was Canadian geese and ducks everywhere it was a nice place.
