About Belknap Park

Belknap Park is a city-owned public park and outdoor multi-purpose venue located at 30 Coldbrook St NE in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Managed by the City of Grand Rapids Parks and Recreation Department, the park serves as a community green space in the Belknap Lookout neighborhood, just north of downtown and near the I-196 corridor.

The park is known for its open fields, hilly terrain, skyline views, and recreational amenities, including pickleball courts. It also hosts ticketed outdoor events, most notably the Upheaval Music Festival, a multi-day rock and alternative music festival held in Grand Rapids. During colder months, the park transitions into a winter recreation setting with activities such as sledding.

For live-event fans, Belknap Park stands out as an outdoor festival ground where open grass, slopes, and city views shape the experience.

Location & Transportation

Belknap Park is located at 30 Coldbrook St NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49503 — in the Belknap Lookout neighborhood just north of downtown Grand Rapids and near the I-196 corridor.

Driving and Parking: Belknap Park is accessed via Coldbrook St NE, just off the I-196 Gerald R. Ford Freeway corridor. For major events such as Upheaval Music Festival, on-site and advance festival parking can sell out, and attendees often look for nearby street parking, neighborhood parking in Belknap Lookout, or adjacent downtown lots.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate throughout Grand Rapids, and drop-off or pickup near park entrances off Coldbrook St NE is practical. After large events, expect longer waits and possible surge pricing as crowds leave the park at the same time.

Transit: The Rapid operates bus service throughout Grand Rapids, with downtown connections a short distance from the park. Transit can be useful for some attendees, though most large-event crowds arrive by car or rideshare.

Nearby Accommodation: Downtown Grand Rapids hotels are within a short drive of Belknap Park. Properties in the Medical Mile / Michigan Street corridor and the central downtown district offer some of the easiest access to the park.

Venue Navigation

Belknap Park is an open outdoor park with hilly, grassy terrain, so planning your arrival and walking route matters more than it would at a compact indoor venue. For ticketed festivals, the event footprint is set up with temporary gates, security checkpoints, vendor areas, and open standing space.

Entrances and Access: Primary access is from Coldbrook St NE. For ticketed festivals, temporary gated entrances and security checkpoints are established on the park grounds, with entry patterns shaped by the event setup.

Getting to Your Section: Festival events at Belknap Park are generally navigated on foot across open grass and sloped ground. Comfortable footwear is advisable, especially because the park includes uneven terrain and can become muddy after rain.

Dining Options

Inside Belknap Park

For festival events, food vendors and bars are typically brought in as part of the event operation. Since the park functions as an outdoor festival site for major ticketed events, food and beverage options are tied to the specific event setup.

Outside the Venue — Grand Rapids

Downtown Grand Rapids dining is a short distance from Belknap Park. Attendees can look to the central business district and the Michigan Street / Medical Mile corridor near the Belknap Lookout neighborhood for pre-event meals, drinks, and post-show options.

Security & Policies

Belknap Park maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

Bag Policy: Bag rules are set per individual event. Ticketed festivals typically enforce bag-size limits and bag checks at entry, so packing light helps make the screening process smoother.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Outside food and drink, weapons, and similar items are commonly restricted at ticketed festivals. Event security may also restrict items deemed unsafe or disruptive.

Entry Procedures: Ticketed events use gated entry with bag checks and ticket verification. Belknap Park is otherwise an open public space subject to City of Grand Rapids park rules and posted park hours.

How Much Do Tickets to Belknap Park Cost?

Belknap Park ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the lineup and headliners, pass type, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from single-day outdoor festival admission to multi-day VIP festival passes.

Music festival single-day admission can range approximately from $50 to $125, with pricing driven by the lineup, headliners, purchase timing, and demand for a specific day.

Multi-day festival passes and VIP options can be approximately $150 or more, especially when a major festival lineup drives higher demand or when premium tiers include added access or amenities.

Buying earlier generally helps secure better prices and access to advance parking, which can sell out ahead of major events. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining options can rise.

Belknap Park Seating Guide

Belknap Park’s event layout is shaped by its open outdoor grounds, with festival events generally using general admission standing areas rather than assigned fixed seats. Understanding the park-style setup helps you choose tickets that match the type of experience you want.

Best Seats at Belknap Park

• Best value: General admission festival passes usually provide the standard Belknap Park experience, giving fans access to the open festival grounds at the most accessible price point.
• Closest to the action: Areas nearest the stage offer the closest view for concerts and festivals, especially for fans who want to be close to the performance.
• Best overall experience: For many attendees, the best experience is balancing proximity to the stage with enough space to move comfortably on the open grounds.
• Premium and VIP options: Multi-day festival and VIP passes may be offered for select events, with pricing and access tied to the specific festival package.

Getting Ready for Your Belknap Park Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an outdoor venue with hilly grass, temporary festival entrances, and parking demand around major events.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cellular service can be congested during large festival crowds. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. On-site and advance parking can sell out for major events, and neighborhood parking fills quickly around the park.
• Wear the right footwear. Belknap Park has hilly, grassy, and uneven terrain. Sturdy, comfortable shoes are advisable, especially after rain when the ground may be muddy.
• Dress in layers. As an outdoor venue, the park is exposed to sun, heat, rain, and temperature swings. Sunscreen, rain protection, and layers can make the day more comfortable.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Large festival crowds can create parking delays, rideshare waits, and slower movement around Coldbrook St NE.
• Know your entrance. For festival events, ticket and event details identify the designated entrance off Coldbrook St NE, which may differ from everyday park access.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
