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.

They were resurfaced about 3 years ago and still look brand new. But, that is because they are completely unplayable. Whoever resurfaced those courts left air pockets that substantially effect play on all four courts. If you are a 3.0 player or above I would recommend finding another place to play. The problem for us GP Park residents is that they converted the Patterson Park courts to Pickleball courts leaving us without a playable tennis court in all of GPP. It is crying shame that those managing a park system like ours cannot find a solution to this problem.

I still remember as a kid swimming around the adult pool when it wasn't adult time and watching this bigger guy we all lovingly called Boblo boat swim around the perimeter of the pool by using his hands as wheel to pedal around the pool and do his laps. It was also the first time I saw the fool horror of the red Speedo from the slicked backer tall guy that would walk around proudly by the pool, only taking a dip to cool off some. This is where I took my tennis lessons as a kid. This is where I learned to fish over by the harbor piers. They have improved the community center and it's now a nice Tompkin's center and a great communal spot to watch movies. It's great for renting for parties and gatherings. I don't live in GPP any more but I have many friends that still do and thus I still am able to visit this wonderful park that holds so many fond childhood memories for me.

Only recently constructed in 2004 during the first phase of the park's development, it stands at 63 feet tall and was designed as a scaled-down replica of the Tawas Point Lighthouse, a historic beacon on Lake Huron built in 1876. This lighthouse doesn't serve a traditional navigational role like its Great Lakes predecessors. Instead, it marks the entrance to the harbor and serves as a visual anchor for the park. The park itself was originally named Tri-Centennial State Park, commemorating the founding of Fort Detroit in 1701, and was later renamed in 2009 to honor Governor William G. Milliken, a champion of environmental stewardship. The lighthouse is not open for touring but the grounds around it are fully accessible from all angles. It is a rare lighthouse that is visible from two countries. [Round number review 1000 of 2025 - 476 in Michigan - 24554 overall]

I started at the…read moreRenaissance Center, where the towers shimmer over the river, and wandered east to Cullen Plaza. Along the way, I passed murals, sculptures, Little Free Libraries, and plenty of benches--each inviting a pause. The path buzzed with life, yet still offered quiet moments beside the water. At Cullen Plaza, I gave in to laziness and grabbed a Lime scooter. Gliding along the wide, welcoming path, I passed buskers playing jazz and folk, their tunes drifting through the warm air. The Riverwalk's layout makes it easy to navigate, with clear signs and a friendly, open feel--like Detroit showing off its best side. I wrapped up at the Milliken State Park Lighthouse, a proud little beacon with Windsor's skyline just across the water. Jetskis circling on the Detroit River, families picnicked, and the sun above the RenCen was pure gold. Whether you stroll, scoot, or simply sit and soak it in, the Riverwalk delivers a soulful slice of Detroit summer. [Review 1003 of 2025 - 478 in Michigan - 24557 overall]

Small parking lot that you can see once you crossover 696 on Farmington Rd. Before you get to the main trail you pass the restrooms which is not modern at all. Didn't know you could have something that is closer to the outhouses of my rural southern Ohio childhood than normal gas station ones you find up here. Trails are mostly dirt with some wood chips so think ahead before you try to hike after a night of heavy rain. A few other hikers learned the hard way that expensive tennis shoes wont be as nice if you go too far. I had my Keds on but not your grandmother's Keds but water proof ankle high boots Keds. Besides a few slides on a hill, worked wonderful walking thru wet parts. Enough benches and trail markers to let you rest and not get lost, it is a good way to spend an hour or two. I didn't get all the way back to the pond due to the heavy rain night before, I managed to spend an hour enjoying here and remembering the woods I played in as a child. If you have children, get them off their games and out into the sun. Take them to a place they can get dirty and see bugs and butterflies upclose and personal. Just don't let them wear their good shoes or jeans like the mother I saw coming back to the parking lot with muddy kids.

The whole experience was super well organized -- from booking to check-in, everything ran smoothly and on time. Huge shoutout to Brad, who led our tour. He struck that perfect balance between being friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. You could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does -- he shared fun bits of Detroit history and local trivia as we paddled, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included no matter their experience level. A few of us were total beginners, and he made it easy (and fun) to get the hang of it. The route itself was beautiful -- great views of the skyline, calm water, and just enough challenge to keep things interesting. It was the perfect mix of relaxation and light activity, and a really unique way to see the city from a new angle. Would absolutely recommend Detroit River Sports for any team outing or weekday/end adventure. If you can, ask for Brad -- he made the day.
