They had tennis courts for pickle ball and a good open field for volleyball, corn hole and fowling. There were about 6 rows of about 4 side by side picnic tables under the shelter. We needed the shelter while eating since it down poured some today. There is a small parking by the tennis court and school, another on the other side of the playscape and a bigger one by the school, but it was under construction.

There is also a paved walking/jogging trail. The covered pavilions have picnic tables under it, but I do not think there are any grills. You will have to bring your own. The park appears kind of old and is relatively maintained. It could use some lawn care. The two play grounds are on opposite ends of the park from each other, along with the pavilions. One play ground has older equipment. The other new playground (by the high school) is bigger and has more modern equipment. It has a huge jungle gym with slides, bridges, and poles. There is also a set of modern swings, a set of regular swings, and a dome climber over there as well. The older playground has a very small metal slide (ouchhhh, on those hot summer days), and two sets of worn swings that have seen better days. As an added bonus, the park has a couple of restroom facility and paved paths that could be used for walking. They are not very long so you would probably get bored running up and down them. The baseball/softball fields are world class and have lights. I think they are used for Allen Park rec league ball mostly, but can be rented. The same goes for the inline-skate rink. The park is located in the backyard of Allen Park High School and I found it hard to differentiate what facilities belonged to the park and which belonged to the school. This is a nice park and definitely worth a visit or planning a special event at. Whether it be a baseball tournament, tennis match, picnic, party, or walking your dog. It has tons of stuff to do.

Okay, quick. Without asking the Internet, name five brands of tires…read more This was my list: Michelin, Firestone, Pirelli, Goodyear, Continental. How did you do? Was Uniroyal on your list? Uniroyal was founded 1892 as the United States Rubber Company in Connecticut as part of the merger of nine separate companies which was one of the biggest corporate consolidations at the time. They became a major supplier for General Motors as an OEM manufacturer. In 1985, Uniroyal merged its tire operations with B.F. Goodrich, forming the Uniroyal Goodrich Tire Company and they were later acquired by Michelin in 1990, ending its run as an independent company. And I can't remember ever having a Uniroyal on my many vehicles. The Uniroyal Giant Tire was built for the 1964 New York World's Fair as a Ferris wheel styled structure. It was moved here to Allen Park and remains a symbol of their legacy. You can't miss it just off I-94. [Review 680 of 2025 - 388 in Michigan - 24241 overall]

Old school cars is only one aspect. Learning about presidential limousines is only one aspect. But you really learn about the progression of society from the beginning of time until now. It's truly, truly fascinating. For me, some of the items were a blast in the past. Also, I noticed a few things from the past coming full circle in 2026. I think I may have spent around 2-3 hours here alone. And that's just me perusing through all the exhibits relatively quickly. You can spend hours in here. It's truly worth the money. If you do have time, definitely go to the Rouge factory. I was able to head over there. I wasn't able to visit Greenfield Village, but that will now happen on my next visit to Detroit.

Ignoring the price - this is a pretty good museum. I do wish we have more time so that we could…read moreexplore the outdoor village area (additional $$$). We should've bought the ticket online to save $8. One thing I did not expect was having to pay for parking. They don't charge at the parking lot. Instead, they ask you if you got dropped off or if you parked. If you drove, that's an additional $10. The indoor museum was about $40. If we wanted the outdoor portion, that's another $40...so yeah; this is probably more worth if you have 5 hours to spend here. We had 2 hours, and we rushed through the indoor museum - did not get many chances to read through/watch the video at each exhibit. 2.5 hrs would prob be enough. I did really enjoy the short bit of history I learned from the Rosa park bus exhibition. The lady there was really good at telling the history/sequence of event. The trains, president cars, airplanes, race car, etc were all very cool to admire - and I'm not much of a car person.

The last few decades have mostly been visits for events like Holiday Nights and Halloween, which means I haven't gotten as much time to really interact with this history and exhibits but recently I visited during a regular ol' summer day to check out the new Jackson House and exhibit and WOW. It's really impressive. You can tell just how much care and thought they put into preserving history and displaying the Jackson family's legacy and ties to the civil rights movement. It's humbling and informative and really lovely (I do love the decor of the 60s! All the vibrant colors!). Adjacent to the house is a building addition with more artifacts and historical information to put the home's importance in context. The seperate, more modern design admittedly does feel slightly out of place compared to the rest of the village (where the homes and workshops stand alone) but I understand that the family likely donated the home to preserve it and make it almost like a stand alone museum inside this larger historical complex, but I do love that most of the buildings just kind of speak for themselves. The guest access to the farms has also grown a lot since I had last visited. During our visit we got to hang with sheep, roaming chickens, see some steers and a calf, and of course the horses. It was peak harvest time so the fields were full of corn stocks, pumpkin, cabbage, and an assortment of additional crops. They've also added the Detroit Central Market, which is a great central gathering area for special events and a weekly farmer's market, and a children's playground area which would have made field trips a lot more fun when I was a kid! There's also a new dining complex with a few different food stations. My mom and I split a woodfired pizza and it was really good! High fives for using the old world pepperoni. Love those little meat cups! Highly recommend getting a membership for easy access to early event tickets, discounts on food and shopping, movie tickets and of course free admission to the museum and village. We were saying we should take advantage of our memberships more, just go to walk around on a nice day as a change of scenery. It makes for a very pleasant stroll, even if if you're no diving deep into the history of it all.

A variety of classes are offered 7 days a week but unfortunately this past Sunday's were cancelled due to some special event they had (website's schedule is up to date). To book a class is super easy; choose which class you want and it tells you how many open spots are left. You pay via credit card and receive an email confirmation. Upon arrival you just go to either of the studios where the classes are held. I booked a spin class and the instructor came up to introduce herself and asked my name and said she saw it on her roster. As for the class, it was very good and the instructor (Jill) was super nice and chatted with her a bit after. Facility is very clean and the bikes were in excellent condition. The only con is it is very hard to find as there is no signage indicating where the center is located (you see the theater upon arrival). I stopped and asked what appeared to be some city road/construction workers and one was able to give me directions. Saw the building with a huge parking lot and assumed that was it as I saw some people going in who were in workout gear and carrying gym bags. Once you initially find it you are good to go and know what/where to go.
