It provides picnic tables, two fun playgrounds for your kids, a trail (to walk, jog, run, and even bike), and many exercise equipments around the area. Whenever you do a full circle around the park, there is a fountain at the start to keep you hydrated! There are many places to get rest, including benches and tables. Even when you need shade on a summer day, there are several trees covering the whole park. Pull out a blanket, lay down, and enjoy! The park isn't just for any age range or alone. It's also great for spending time with family. The park mostly has children, but that doesn't mean adults can't have fun either! There are swing sets and balance poles for adults. While it may not be the largest park in the city, its a beloved spot for both locals and visitors. The only reason why I didn't give it a 5 star, is because the bathrooms are always locked or there is construction done near there! If you can't hold it in, I suggest not going here! Otherwise, this place is my favorite and new visitors are welcomed.

I've driven by this park quite a few times over the past year and always was impressed with how…read moreclean and cool looking it was. I finally had the time to stop in yesterday with my date and his kids to check the place out, and we both were pleasantly surprised with how much fun it was. For starters, the park is really well kept. Grass was cut, parking lot was clean and well maintained and all equipment was in good working order. After walking around for a bit, we both realized there was more to do then meets the eye from the road. There's plenty to do for both kids and adults. The one thing that drew my eye initially was the picture of the fire truck on the wall of the building they have right next to the parking lot. The park itself is named after a fire chief, thus, the fire truck theme going on here. They have tons of stuff to do here. They have a lovely covered pavilion with plenty of seating and well maintained picnic tables. They also have a play area for the kids, soccer fields, a horse shoe area, tennis courts and a sand volley ball area. They also had an area that appeared to be a Bocce Ball court, but no equipment to play the game. Also, there was a building with the fire truck painted on that I assume has bathrooms or a tribute area inside. I can't say for sure because the doors were locked and you couldn't see much through the doors. The only downfall to this park is no obvious place for bathrooms. I assume it's in the building but I cannot say for sure. I also saw a few adults walking with fishing poles and equipment. I guess you can go fishing around here as well. I believe there's hiking trails as well if your interested in that also. This park is a great addition to the community and everything about it was impressive. I am sure I will be back in the future!

As other reviewers have noted, Boulan Park offers a number of amenities such as tennis courts, baseball diamonds, volleyball, running tracks, along with facilities for gatherings like our group. There is plenty of parking for whatever you plan to do here. We were set up at one of the gazebos with pizza, subs, water, and soft drinks. Attendance was a bit light with 30-40 people but it was easy to spread out. We were busy and arrived late and the subs were gone but there still was enough pepperoni pizza left so we didn't leave hungry! Our group consists of real estate investors so naturally the discussions were focused on buying and selling properties. The facilities that we used was a nice covered gazebo on a concrete floor big enough to spread out with 15-20 picnic tables. Restrooms are located a short walk away but I didn't use them and can't comment on them. Even the weather was pleasant with a light breeze and sunshine, not sure if the park provided that for us. Overall a great and popular city park!

Rosie's is probably the best park on the east side…read more They have a BMX dirt trail, including a halfpipe for bikes and skateboarders, a 1 mile paved walk/hike/bike trail, restrooms, and a skating rink that's inline in the summer, and ice in the winter. We used to take walks on the trail once or twice a week last summer. It's a great trail - the 30 acres or so are equal parts field and forest, and the trail goes through both. It's a nice place to get away without having to drive all the way out to Stony Creek park. The trail really is beautiful and so relaxing... Were I to get back into inline skating, I'd certainly come here. The trail, plus that halfpipe really makes it a great place for kids and adults alike to come and let loose on wheels. If you're at all sporty and looking for a place that's free and close to you, this would be Rosie's!

I've been coming here for years to skate and I don't expect people to get on their hands and knees scrubbing the boards and floor, but some damage needs to be addressed. -Seam covers for the bottom of the boards are falling off (pucks can go underneath) -Netting around the boards is falling off (pucks hit it and fall out) -random bumps and buckles on the floor (dangerous to skate on) -debris, garbage, animal poop on the floor A lot of the above would be solved if the floor wasn't open to the elements when the park is closed. Even a brief status-check of the rinks when the park opens and closes would be helpful.

All my photos show they have 2 outdoor roller rinks for hockey or for roller blading. Must read the two signs of rules and regulations. A few baseball diamonds. I'm sure they're active in the evening or on the weekends because there was real no activity here today. Soccer fields when soccer season is in. I took pictures of a picnic area and playscape for kids. Maybe for daycare groups or for families that stay at home with their kids to come and play. A few picnic tables to sit at and have lunch or snack. There are Restrooms attached by office, along with beverage vending machines. There's quite a bit of parking space. This is the park that displays fireworks in the month of June or before the 4th of July holiday. All in all there's a walkway going around through the park or sidewalk area with 2 entrances. It's worth a stop if you're in the area or driving back from Rochester and your resident of Shelby or Macomb making your way back home. If you ARE a resident ... you know this park and what I'm talking about! :)
