The pavilion area is able to accommodate large groups. There are bathroom facilities on site versus Porter potties. I was very impressed by the maintenance and park amenities. I can't wait to be back with the family.

Tattan Park is awesome!! I like to think that there are a lot of great playgrounds where I live,…read morebut this one blows them all out of the water. There are so many structures for kids of all ages! My only criticism is that it's not enclosed, although it looks like the dinosaur one under construction is completely enclosed. There's no shade in the play structures but honestly, they're so cool that a bunch of them have covered areas. There are some trees surrounding the play area so maybe bring a blanket to lounge on while your kids play.

I have only biked this park. The best feature is the extensive size of this park. There is a…read morededicated pedestrian/biking path on one side of the park. Hines Drive runs through the center of the park and is wide enough to accomodate bikes. Some sections get a little tight, but you can steer back onto the asphalt path if you are on the right lane. Generally, heading west towards Ann Arbor has less traffic. At one point, a group of my friends took the trail onto connecting paths all the way to Ann Arbor. Aside from biking, the park has something for everyone. If you choose to drive, some areas have a parking alongside playgrounds, softball fields, golfing, gardens, and picnic area. Hines Park is the the great connector for numerous smaller parks. As with much of Michigan, the roads could be better maintained, but this green oasis is a gift to the greater Detroit metro area.

I especially love going during the summertime with my baby Cousins to the aquarium and hiking in the fall. Another amazing thing about this island is that you can sit and relax, enjoying the sites of our neighbors over in Canada while flying kites during the kite festival. From fishing to kayaking to hiking this place is amazing.

Belle Isle is one of those places that you tend to visit often when growing up in Detroit. From the…read moretime I was a little girl, I've been visiting this place. I've seen the transformation over the years and its interesting to see how much this place has changed. I stopped by today to just relax by the water and take in the sights. For anyone visiting, stop by! Belle Isle is beautiful and is a Detroit staple.

I just discovered the Rouge River trail last summer. I've been trying to get in more steps each day…read moreand it was fun to try walking in a new area. The Rouge River trail provides some beautiful sites throughout the season and you can even look across the river to Fair Lane, the old Henry Ford Estate. On my very first trip, I saw two deer along the path. If you really want to get a good walk in, park by the Estate and walk around there before or after you go to the Rouge Trail. One tip: As a walker or runner, stay to the right of the path as there are a lot of bikers gah at come through and it can be difficult for them to see around the curves in the path.

The playground is huge and looks like so much fun for children. There's also a gated waterpark right next to the play ground called H20 Spray park. Not sure when it opens to the public but I believe you do have to pay to enter. As you walk further down, you'll see a concession stand and another building with outside seating along with a hanging sign that says Westand Lions Club. And There's a pond area with a fountain in the middle. Lastly, there's a soccer field with a 2 lane track going around it - 1 lap is 0.5mi. After exploring the area, I went around the track a few times. I had a Very nice time.

As a novice of woodworking, I was blown-away by the intricate woodwork and finishings throughout the home. The three ladies that lead our tour of the home shared many interesting details about the property, its restoration, and details of Clara and Henry's years at the estate. Many of the restoration stories, like finding a tub for Henry's bathroom or how Clara had a section repainted white were intriguing. Even though much of the home, especially the second floor, is still being restored it was a fascinating experience.

There wasn't much actually open amongst the majestic-looking buildings while I was there, but the picnic area was hopping. The signage was bilingual-in English and Arabic-and what appeared to be a Yemeni wedding seemed to be taking place. The juxtaposition of the estate of an industrialist (or robber baron, or visionary, or racist, depending on your point of view) with a distinctive immigrant community makes for a striking reflection on Americana. The grounds include some gardens, and a lake with a path around it. Access to the river is limited, but it didn't look like that impressive of a river. The greenery is more worthwhile.
