Central park OK but not too visible to anyone driving by. Milham Park @ Kilgore & Lovers Lane I think would be good. There's also one @ Oakland and Schuring but the name escapes me at the moment. That one wouldn't be seen as much as Milham Park tho. I'd think we'd want it to be easily found and seen. Bronson Park had great visibility as far as public attention.
The park by Kilgore & Lover's Lane... did you mean Portage Creek Bicentennial Park?

I've never been there, but if it has good public visibility and a good location then I'd be all for it.
As for dates, here are some options:
June 28 (coming up in about 2 1/2 weeks)
July 12
August 9
I've heard that July is going to be busy in terms of events, so I'd vote for the end of June, unless that would be too soon. I need votes for dates so I don't have to make the decision blindly, so please give input if you're even remotely interested in coming.
Had to look it up - IDID meanMilham Park, or at least PART of it, which is at NE corner of Lovers' and Kilgore, across the street from Loy Norrix H.S..
However, after thinking more about it, I think
Portage Creek Bicentennial Park, on Milham, would be abetter place. There's not quite as much
car traffic, but Celery Flats runs right thru the park, which has a
constant flow of foot, bike, and skate traffic. I think that would get good public attention. Also, there are a couple of pavillions there and clean, close bathroom facilities.
As to dates - personally, Aug would be best for me. Haveweddings to go to (out of town) on June 27th and July 11th both. Then out of town for MY bachelor weekend the wkend of the 18th, and getting married and will be honeymooning wkend of the 25th. I'm booked til Aug - then open all month. Exhausted just thinking about it! I'll run over there this evening and check any rules re: grilling. Think it would be A-OK tho. So, any feedback on that location? Central Park's proximity to PD is great but you can't even see it from the road so I'd definitely think elsewhere.
And thanks for reminding me Steph, I'd forgot to mention thatMilham ParkIS technically Kzoo. Bicentennial is Portage. So, if we really wanna stick to Portage, Milham's out of the running. Let me rack my brain s'more and ref a couple maps. There's GOT to be an ideal spot...
