About Bronson Park

Bronson Park sits in downtown Kalamazoo on one of the city's original blocks. It is the oldest park in the city and is named for its founder, Titus Bronson. Its central location makes it a common site for gatherings and events. Visitors find shaded benches and tables, paved walkways, and a variety of sculptures and memorials. Outdoor table tennis is available, and the library lends paddles. The park hosts a weekly summer lunchtime event with food trucks and live music, a holiday tree lighting ceremony, and can be rented for special events.
