GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — July is Parks and Recreation Month and the City of Grand Rapids is teeming with parks and green spaces all over the city.

And to celebrate the kick off of Parks and Rec Month, the Grand Rapids Parks and Recreation Department shared some of its favorite one-star reviews of parks around the city.

The Parks and Rec Department posted the reviews on their Facebook page Friday with the caption "We always view negative feedback as an opportunity to improve, but we're not sure we can do much about these concerns."
