Just in time for the Annual Bridge Lighting ceremony in Ada, Michigan, the north (west) half of the rejuvenated park will open on December 5, 2025. The event is locally popular and includes opportunities to buy refreshments, enjoy trolly rides, and watch the bridge being lit for the holidays.
This half of the park project includes a passive green space and access to the historic covered bridge across the Thornapple River. There will be a Veteran's Memorial which is expected to be the centerpiece of this section of the park.
Full access through the bridge will not be available until the project is completed in June 2026. The south (east) side of the park will include pickleball courts, a splash pad, playground, pavilion, restrooms, and a small dog park.

The bridge lighting ceremony will be Dec. 5, 2025, at 5:15 p.m.
Wesley Deason, Director of Parks and Recreation for Ada Township, says he envisions the site as a place for families to gather. He hopes the park will serve a range of recreational needs.
The Ada Winter Lights Walking Trail is a 0.8-mile walk through town which takes in light displays, including the covered bridge. The holiday lighting display will be in place from December 1 to January 31. Scan the QR Code here to download a map of the route to your phone.
