Kalamazoo County Parks Photography: Splashpad Fun at River Oaks Park

I’ve had the joy of partnering with Kalamazoo County Parks for several years, documenting the vibrant energy and natural beauty across our local parks. From the peaceful trails of the Kalamazoo River Valley to the joyful chaos of the River Oaks Splashpad and playground, each session highlights how these spaces bring our community together. Last week’s shoot at River Oaks Park was the perfect kickoff to summer—fresh air, splashes, and smiles all around. Scroll down to see some favorite moments from our morning at one of Kalamazoo’s best family-friendly parks.
