Looking for the best parks in West Michigan? In this episode of Living in Grand Rapids, Doren Colley with the May Group Realtors at RE/MAX of Grand Rapids shares his favorite parks and outdoor spaces around Grand Rapids, from family-friendly neighborhood parks to hiking trails and hidden beaches just a couple of hours away.Grand Rapids has a big-city energy with restaurants, live music, and even a Beer City USA title, but some of the best moments here happen when you slow down. Whether that means a morning trail, a playground afternoon, or a quiet bench with coffee, West Michigan has a park for every kind of day, and this video breaks down exactly where to find them.⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS Introduction (0:00) What Are the Best Parks in West Michigan? (1:00) Best Family Parks & Playgrounds (1:17) Trails for Walking, Running & Biking (2:19) Quiet, Natural Parks (2:47) Choose Your Own Adventure (3:08) Beyond the City: Beaches & Dunes (3:25) Final Thoughts (4:07) What Are the Best Parks in West Michigan? It's one of the questions Doren gets asked most, and honestly, it's a tough one to answer because there are so many great options. Instead of a top ten list, this video walks through favorite parks and outdoor spaces based on the type of experience you're looking for, from playgrounds to peaceful hikes.Best Family Parks in Grand Rapids: If you have younger kids, Grand Rapids and the surrounding communities are full of neighborhood parks with playgrounds, splash pads, open fields, and gathering spaces. Some of the local family favorites include Millennium Park, Riverside Park, Hager Park, and Townsend Park, all of which offer large green spaces, trails, playgrounds, and reservable pavilions for parties and family reunions. For something closer to the neighborhoods, Garfield Park and Richmond Park are easy to get to and great for quick afternoon outings, complete with well-loved disc golf courses.Trails, Biking & Quiet Natural Spaces: For walkers, runners, and bikers, the White Pine Trail is a West Michigan favorite, stretching more than 90 miles from Comstock Park to Cadillac with a paved, mostly flat path perfect for dog walkers, families with strollers, and long-distance athletes alike. For a quieter, more natural setting, Doren recommends Pickerel Lake Park, Lewton Park, Townsend Park, and Roselle Park, all beautiful spots for wooded trails and a little solitude.Beyond Grand Rapids: Beaches, Dunes & State Parks. Within a couple hours of Grand Rapids, you'll find some of the most beautiful beaches and dune systems in Michigan. Doren shares one of his favorite outdoor adventures, backpacking at Nordhouse Dunes along Lake Michigan, about two hours northwest of the city, where you'll find white sand, crystal clear water, and a beach that feels almost private.Whatever kind of day you're looking for, whether it's a playground and a picnic table or a challenging hike, West Michigan has a park to match. Watch the full video to find your next favorite outdoor spot, and let us know in the comments which West Michigan park is your favorite.*LET'S CONNECT*Download our Free Relocation Guide: https://marketgrandrapids.com/relocation-guide Email: contact@marketgrandrapids.com Website: https://marketgrandrapids.com Instagram: @MayGroupRealtors
In this episode we discuss the Scottish Open at Renaissance Club and the experience around the event, including the relaxed atmosphere for players, the links-style setting, and the way the course routing was changed. We also talk about nearby courses on the East Lothian coast, including Gullane, Winterfield, Craigielaw and Longniddry.We then begin the final part of our series on major golf course architects, focusing on the Hawtree family. We explain that the Hawtrees span three generations and have worked for over a century, with Frederick George Hawtree as the practical founder, Frederick William Hawtree as the more golf-focused writer and consultant, and Martin Hawtree as the modern restorer and consultant.We trace Fred Senior's early career from greenkeeping at Sundridge Park to his first design work with James Braid at Sundridge Park and Croham Hurst. We also cover the founding of his practice in 1912, the interruption caused by World War I, and his later partnership with J.H. Taylor.A major theme is Hawtree's work on municipal and public golf. We discuss the Artisan Golfing Society, the National Association of Public Courses, and their role in courses such as Richmond Park and several municipal courses around Birmingham, including Lickey Hills and others.We then cover Fred Senior's purchase and rebuilding of Addington Court in the early 1930s, making it the first privately owned public golf course in Britain and the firm's headquarters for decades. We also discuss the 1932 rebuilding of Royal Birkdale, including the new routing through the dunes and the course's later refinements.Finally, we cover Fred Jr.'s education, wartime service and post-war consultancy work, then Martin Hawtree's role from the 1970s onward. We mention his work at venues such as Lahinch, Ballybunion, Royal Aberdeen, Trump International and Royal Liverpool, and his comments about growing up around the family business and continuing the Hawtree tradition.

A disastrous first half for Galway United put them out of contention in this SSE Airtricity League Men's Premier Division contest in Richmond Park on Friday (3rd July 2026) as they fell to a second successive defeat in Dublin.

Galway Bay FM's match commentary team were Jonathan Higgins and Kevin Horgan. == Galway United's next game is at home against Sligo Rovers on Saturday week (11th July). Kick-off at Pearse Stadium is 5pm.

Julia and her family are currently in Thailand awaiting a flight to Cyprus to reconnect with their catamaran “Numa” as she is skippered across from Ko Lanta to Europe. We've known Julia for a few years in London, where she's often joined us for Soulwalks in Richmond Park, for coffee and conversation, and it's this foundation of sharing intimate experiences which leads us to re-connect across the airwaves. As you'll hear, they left their London Richmond life, to take on a new venture and way of living on the sea, and exploring many parts of the world. Now after almost a year, they've travelled the Gulf of Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, big tourist spots like Phuket and Krabi as well as tiny island and communities. What have they learnt? Together we jump right in to understand the drivers, but also the complexities of life at sea. The considerations, starting with how to keep themselves safe. It sounds very much like it's a true balance of freedom and familiarity, with tasks that need to be completed, food accessed, wind and tide patterns understood, and amongst all of that the uncontrollable elements of the family dynamics. What do we learn about ourselves and relationships? Julia shares the challenges of navigating this with her partner and son. We wish the family safe travels across to Europe, and look forward to sharing stories somewhere else in the world.

The Outdoors Fix is a podcast to inspire you to make the outdoors a bigger part of your life. It's hosted by Liv Bolton. Let me ask you something: How well do you know the trees in your local area? Do you have a favourite? One of mine is an ancient sweet chestnut in the Ashridge Estate in the Chilterns, not far from where I grew up. It's enormous, with beautifully twisted bark, and it's thought to be more than 400 years old. It's the kind of tree you can't help but stop and stare at for a while. And that's exactly what this episode is about — noticing the trees around us, and seeing them in a new light. I'm joined by Paul Wood, author of Tree Hunting: 1,000 Trees to find in Britain and Ireland's Towns and Cities. Paul spent four years travelling across the UK documenting remarkable trees in the places we often overlook — and encouraging us all to pay closer attention to something we usually walk straight past. As he says, if you simply start looking up a little more, it can completely transform how you experience the outdoors. We recorded this conversation while walking through Richmond Park in London — so as you listen, keep an ear out for the sounds around us: woodpeckers, parakeets, and the occasional plane heading to Heathrow… I really hope you enjoy our chat — and don't forget to stay tuned for the Sounds of Nature moment at the end of the episode: a small pocket of calm to help you pause, unwind and breathe in the outdoors, wherever you are. Thanks again for listening, Liv x The Outdoors Fix is a podcast produced and hosted by Liv Bolton @liv_outsideuk This episode of The Outdoors Fix is kindly supported by outdoor footwear brand Merrell.

Following their disappointing 1-0 defeat to Drogheda United last week, Galway United are on the road this Friday (13th February 2026) to St. Patrick's Athletic. It's not been a happy hunting ground for John Caulfield's men in recent times, having drawn twice and lost three times in their last five visits, including last year's FAI Cup quarter-final after extra-time. Galway United last won in Inchicore in the FAI Cup in 2017, but their last league victory was a 3-1 success in March 2026 thanks to goals from Vinny Faherty, John Sullivan and Enda Curran. Vinny Faherty, who represented the club in four spells between 2007 and 2020, scored nearly 50 goals during his Galway United career and also represented St. Patrick's Athletic on two occasions.

In this lively, idea packed episode of The Forest School Podcast, Lewis and Wem move from Halloween chatter to a full nature reset. Wales waterfalls, Pen y Fan, Regent's Park squirrels, and the deer rut at Richmond Park set the scene for a deeper dive. Lewis picks up Ludo Botany again and invites listeners to help build a new series, starting with tree climbing. The pair then unpack a Finnish trial that “rewilded” kindergartens with real forest floor to boost children's microbiomes, compare new Australian findings, and explore equity, ethics, hygiene practice, and culture change. A new original song appears too. It is written from the viewpoint of an oak tree watching its acorns become craft supplies.
Dundalk FC end the season with a domestic cup final victory, giving the Lilywhites a technical double winning campaign, albeit in the much undervalued Leinster Senior Cup who despite being the country's oldest trophy took place in almost secretive conditions. Ep 201 reflects on the currently undervalued heritage of this provincial silverware and reflects on a thrilling night of football for those who made the journey to Richmond Park

IntroWhat if the beliefs that feel most true about who you are—the "I'm not…" statements you've carried for years—are just choices you made in the past? In this raw Real Wednesday episode, Heather V Masters shares the story of how she transformed a 20-year identity as "not a runner" in just three weeks, from finishing a traumatic 2000 half-marathon alone and wrapped in foil to discovering joy in a 2011 charity 10k. Through visceral storytelling and uncomfortable vulnerability, she reveals how beliefs are choices we can always remake—and why she's still catching those old permission-seeking voices this very morning.What's Inside:The desolate 2000 half-marathon finish: alone, injured, wrapped in foil like a baked potato, vowing never to run againThe 2011 invitation that changed everything: a small charity supporting child-trafficking survivorsThe terrifying Richmond Park moment: realizing she could come last in a tiny race where everyone would noticeHow parental doubt ("Aren't you too old?") planted seeds of limiting beliefsThe visualization that created certainty: seeing herself cross the finish line with people behind herThree weeks of training with a dog who eventually ran home in protestThe friend's voice cutting through the noise at the finish line: healing the 2000 woundRace day revelation: coming third-last was absolutely perfectThis morning's business planning moment: catching dad's voice and choosing againThe NLP anchoring technique: using memorable moments to model future transformationThree Lessons:1. A Belief Is Just a Choice You Made—And You Can Choose AgainReality: That "truth" about yourself might just be a decision you made in a moment of pain twenty years ago. When you recognize it as a choice, not a fact, you reclaim your power to choose differently.2. Big Identity Shifts Don't Require Years—They Require a Moment of CertaintyReality: Transformation doesn't need months of therapy. It needs a single moment of 110% commitment where you decide with absolute certainty who you're becoming. Then the actions follow naturally.3. Old Stories Have Smaller Beliefs Hanging Off Them—Let Them Go TogetherReality: "I'm not a runner" came with "I'm too old," "I'm not a completer," and "I'll embarrass myself." Outgrowing the main story means consciously releasing all the supporting stories too. They don't get to come along for the ride.The Uncomfortable TruthThe stories we tell ourselves about who we are—I'm not creative, I'm terrible with money, I'm just not that kind of person—aren't truths carved in stone. They're choices we made, often years ago, often in moments of pain or failure. And we can choose again. Right now. Today.This Week's Story Rewrite ExerciseRIGHT NOW: Pause and write down three "I can't" statements. The ones you don't say out loud. The ones that feel embarrassing to admit. Those are the ones holding the most power.THEN GO DEEPER: Pick the one holding you back most and ask:When did I first choose to believe this?What was happening when I made this choice?Does it still serve me today?If I could choose again, what would I choose instead?Then visualize yourself living from that new belief with certainty—and take one small action this week that proves the new story is true.Memorable Moments That Will Stick:"Wrapped in foil like a baked potato, utterly desolate""I could come last. Everyone will know.""A blood oath with myself: I would never run again""Even my dog ran home by herself—just had enough""I could hear her voice cutting through all the other noise—'Come on, Heather!'""For the first time in a race, I wasn't alone at the finish...
Feminist campaigner and founder of Sex Ed Matters, Laura Coryton discusses the power of sisterhood, the books which have inspired her campaigning and why sex education in schools still needs to evolve. In 2014, Laura led the petition ‘Stop Taxing Periods' to end tampon tax, which gained over 300,000 signatures and support from major political figures including Barack Obama. The campaign successfully lobbied the government to abolish the tax in 2021, before which they established the ‘Tampon Tax Fund', through which almost £100 million pounds was donated to female-focused charities. Laura is an Obama Foundation European Leader and stood in the 2024 parliamentary election as the Labour Party candidate in Richmond Park. Her first book Speak Up! was published in 2019 and aims to inspire the next generation of female voices. Laura regularly speaks at schools about the experience and challenges of being a female campaigner, to advise and empower girls who might want to start their own campaigns or get involved with politics. Laura's book choices are: ** Double Act by Jacqueline Wilson ** The Inseparables by Simone de Beauvoir ** The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath ** Bone Black by bell hooks ** Women and Power by Mary Beard Vick Hope, multi-award winning TV and BBC Radio 1 presenter, author and journalist, is the host of season eight of the Women's Prize's BookshelfiePodcast.

We are back after an international break to forget and savouring a weekend to remember in the FAI Cup unless you happen to be from Connacht. Kerry FC's heroic exploits take top billing, but there's a heavy Sligo Rovers angle to that drama too while Johnny was down at Richmond Park to hear from Kian Leavy and John Caulfield after St Patrick's Athletic got the better of Galway. Dan details a dramatic night in Drogheda and there's a bit of Derry chat too in a crowded mailbag that includes TV statistics, Israel, the DUP and why the difficult child has become the FAI's favourite distraction. In a week of 4-3 wins, we remain grateful to our four sponsors who make this happen consistently - our friends at Future Ticketing, Rascals Brewing, Collar & Cuff and Sport Cosanta

We took a full-day detour to answer this question from Heather Channon of South Burlington: "Who is using all of the park-and-ride lots?"We spent 12 straight hours (yes, you read that correctly) at one of the busiest park and rides in the state, on one of the busiest travel days of the year, to find out.
