The following information was taken directly from the City of Fenton website at: http://www.cityoffenton.org/parks/bush.asp
Bush Park is one of Fenton’s largest parks. It is five and a half acres and was given to the City of Fenton by Harry C. and Doris E. Bush on December 18, 1954. Both the Fenton Rotary and the DDA have been very generous in supporting this park. The park has two entrances; one at the east end of Jefferson Street behind St. John’s Catholic Church and the other entrance is on N. Leroy Street at Fifth Street. The park is always open and has no entrance fees. The Shiawassee River runs through the park and provides a beautiful opportunity to experience peace in the city. There are volleyball courts, children’s play equipment, a tot lot area, rest rooms, a gazebo, a pavilion with electricity, picnic areas and a small island to enjoy.
The pavilion and the gazebo are available for rental at the city offices. The fees are as follows:
Pavilion rental: Resident ($25 rental fee + $25 deposit = $50 total), Non-resident ($50 rental fee + $25 deposit = $75 total) and Non-profit ($15 rental fee + $25 deposit = $40 total).
Gazebo rental: Resident ($85 rental fee + $100 deposit = $185 total), Non-resident ($125 rental fee + $100 deposit = $225 total). The gazebos are rented in four hour time blocks (8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.).

Freedom Park is .35 acres small, but it is rich in history. It is Fenton’s first park and it is the place where during the Civil War Colonel William Matthew Fenton had the soldiers practice their drills.

It is bordered by West Shiawassee Avenue, West Elizabeth Street and Park Street. The park is always open and has no entrance fees. There are several benches to relax on, a picnic area, a war memorial and a gazebo which was donated by Dennis and Gail Schaefer in memory of their fathers. The gazebo can be rented at the city offices. The fees are: Resident ($85 rental fee + $100 deposit = $185 total), Non-resident ($125 rental fee + $100 deposit = $225 total).
