Kollen Park is a 24 acre jewel situated between the western end of 10th Street and Lake Macatawa. The address is 240 Kollen Park Boulevard.
The lawns at Kollen Park were once the site of a basket factory. Kollen Park was given to the City of Holland, February 12, 1921 by Martha Diekema Kollen in memory of her husband, George E. Kollen. She purchased the property from the De Pree Company who obtained it from the C.L. King basket factory.
