The Lions Park Trail offers a getaway to nature on Jacksons north side. The pedestrian trail is nearly a half mile long and stretches between W. North Street and W. Monroe Street along the Grand River. There is access to the trail from Lions Park. A pedestrian bridge takes residents over the Grand River before reaching the trail. This trail can be used to reach Lions Park, north side neighborhoods, the Armory Arts complex, and Downtown Jackson. At W. North Street, the trail transitions into walkways that take residents inside the Armory Arts area, which is the Old State of Michigan Prison.

Veritas is an ingredient forward restaurant, meaning every item is treated with the utmost care from the point of selection to the point of preparation. The name of the restaurant, Veritas, comes from the Latin noun vēritās, meaning truth, or true nature, and this name was carefully selected to showcase our mission with food: to remain true to the quality, experience, and meaning behind it. To support such delicious and meticulously prepared food, the perfect atmosphere had to be cultivated. Veritas is truly a beautiful place to experience a moment in time, whether in celebration of love or life. The inclusive and immersive atmosphere of the space transports our guests to fine dining in Chicago or New York, and a large part of that is our service.

Constructed in 1842, Michigan’s First State Prison is now Armory Arts Village, a community of galleries, workspaces, and apartments. While this historic site has transformed into a vibrant neighborhood, Historic Prison Tours offers a first-hand look at the former prison’s amazing architecture and eerie basement (solitary confinement). You’ll hear stories about notorious escapes and plate-throwing riots that resulted from over-crowding and difficult living conditions. From industrialism to rehabilitation, the influence this landmark has on Jackson’s history is remarkable and not to be missed!
