Who We Are

Across from Central Park in downtown Grand Haven, Central Park Place offers a variety of inspired spaces for private and community events, including a theatre, art gallery, outdoor patio, fountain courtyard, catering kitchen, and other gathering spaces for groups from four to 450.

We’re blocks from Grand Haven’s downtown shops and restaurants and linked by trolley to the waterfront district and beautiful Lake Michigan beaches. Whether you’re looking for a versatile performance or concert venue, a place to meet clients or colleagues, a creative space for a wedding or other celebration, or simply somewhere to join your neighbors for a cup of coffee, Central Park Place is the place for you.
