There are 3 parks in Reed City to visit; Rembrandt Park, Westerburg Park, and the Linear Park. The Linear Park is a trail that runs alongside the Hershey River that connects both the Rembrandt and the Westerburg Parks. The Rembrandt Park which is located across the street and can be accessed via the covered bridge and going under the overpass has trails that you can go on which leads to the Lil Mac bridge, which is just like the Mackinac bridge only a smaller scale.
