The Monet Garden of Muskegon is situated at the corner of Clay and Fifth. France's famous Monet Garden, located in the town of Giverny, served as inspiration for the transformation of this site from a vacant into a peaceful, picturesque little downtown park. Muskegon's miniature replica of the Monet Garden has benches that make for a perfect place to relax, sketch, or read within the scenic setting, which includes well-arranged landscaping and a tiny lily pad-filled pond. Open to the public basically at all hours, the park is even lit at night for visitors to enjoy after dark. Phone: 231-724-6977
