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.

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.

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.

Dynamite Park is a large park that is directly next to the Wayne County River Rouge park…read more                 Dynamite Park is a rustic area.  There are just a couple of picnic tables and no lavatories.  Nevertheless it is a nice location for a picnic.  The park has several areas set aside as wildlife areas.  A visit here can give anyone an overview of the present state of natural recovery in most places in Michigan.                 Deer, coyote, raccoon, opossum, hawks, fish and the occasional eagle frequent the place.  Look for tracks wherever you can.  During Spring and Autumn you may well cross paths with one or more of the wild residents.  This is an excellent place for birdwatching.  The birds that appear here range from waterfowl, to forest birds and meadow / open space birds.                 On the edge of the park is a trail leading to 'The Cliffs of the Rouge' which is a natural wonder featuring a set of cliffs towering over the River Rouge.  A visit in any season will provide a unique natural viewpoint to be enjoyed by nature lovers and appreciated by students of nature.                 Walking, hiking, snowshoeing and limited biking are all natural opportunities here.  There is plenty of open space for frisbee, baseball, football or soccer on the green fields near the water station.  The fields are not marked - these would all be impromptu games played with changing boundaries.  Have fun!

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.

Lots of black squirrels which I've never seen outside of Michigan. I took photos and named all of them. There are multiple entries into this park and lots of parking on a rock or gravel lot.

The park is open daily until 10pm. There are many amenities including a civic ice arena, playscapes, picnic tables, covered pavilions and baseball diamonds complete with bleachers and lights for night games. My favorite feature is the 1.2 mile asphalt walking path that circles through the park and accommodates bikers/skaters in one direction and walkers/runners in the other. The only drawback is the squirrels who people have fed over the years to the point now where they walk right up to you asking for food. There are always people in the park but it's never too crowded. It is well kept and even has bags conveniently located for dog owners to use to clean up after their pets. If you live in the Garden City, Wayne, Westland, Inkster or Dearborn Heights area and enjoy outdoor recreation then this park should be on your list.

The roads surrounding the park are dirt and it had just rained so getting in and out of the car wasn't pleasant. The basketball court had no rims and one of the backboards had fallen down. There were a few benches and the playground were in decent condition. At first I saw a board with measurement conversions and thought it was a learning thing. 3ft=1yd. On the back there's a height chart that you find at convenience stores or in police mug shots. That's weird. And one of the slides had a bullet hole in it. Looks like a .45 caliber fired from a house next to the park. That explains the height chart I guess. So it was a decent park but... We won't be back
