    I had the pleasure of checking out the Willow Park last weekend. We went to check out Muckfest, a 5k fundraiser for MS. Next year I'll sign up, it was so cool and they raised over 200k! The park was very big and beautiful. I am obsessed with disc golf and didn't know there was a course here, so I had to get a quick round in. There are 24 holes that aren't too difficult. It's a shorter course with a lot straighter and more forgiving fairways than most courses in the area. I really enjoyed myself. I'm already planning another trip to toss discs with friends. If you have your metro park pass entrance is included, but there's a $3 disc golf fee. Great park with a lot of space and a lot to do, come check it out

    Great walking trails. Lots of wildlife. Not crowded with people. Easy parking. It's a great place to visit.

    Willow Metropark has always been my park of choice. I run there, bike, swim, and fish.

    After searching for a water park, I stumbled into this park that's located in the Lower Huron…read moremetropark in Belleville. The entrance we took, was right next to Turtle Cove, which was super convenient. There was plenty of parking and getting the tickets was a quick and easy process. It cost a little over $30 for the 4 of us. We were bummed the splash pad that is located inside TC was not working but still had a good time with the rest of the water park. There are two big slides (green- can use inflatable tube (single or double, blue- can't use a tube), a big lazy river, area for the little to swim, and a lot of seating. The pool and lazy river were not deep at all and there were plenty of lifeguards throughout the whole place. There are lockers after entering and wish I knew beforehand to bring change. The lockers I looked at required 2 quarters. If you're looking for a bit more than just a splash pad and a place where adults can also have fun in the water with your kiddos, this is a great place to come!

Appearently they don't know how to use their system but I showed the police our receipt and they appologized. I tried to go back to sleep and was awoken again @ 8am but this time by rocks hitting my camper. Giant industrial mowers are flying by children, pets, tents and vehicles, flinging rocks and waking everyone up. My cat was almost killed by some fool mowing at top speed. I saw the same thing happen with a family that had toddlers moments later. I paid $45 dollars to be harassed, woken up by mowers and chainsaws on my day off. This place is not worth it

My toddler is…read morealways asking for the "big playground" because it's the biggest around, that I know of anyways. There's safety town, with a bike path and small buildings that form a small town for the youngins to play. There's a HUGE sandbox, although it sometimes has animal droppings, so enter at your own risk. There is a large assortment of swings, both in quantity and variety. There are the normal swings and baby swings, but they also have the special needs children swings. There is also a large group swing. Off to the side, between the swings and safety town, is a toddler specific playscape. It's perfect for little ones. The main attraction though is the ginormous playscape. And while it's large, my 3 year old happily plays on it for hours, so it's not TOO big. There's probably 6 slides (I can only see 4 from my current spot on the bench), a rope bridge, swing bridge, hideouts underneath, and a variety of ways to climb up. There's also a scavenger hunt and other little activities, if you can keep their focus. There is a lovely splash pad here as well, but it's a separate location on Yelp. There are ample benches around for parents watching their children play. The ground is soft under some turf and there is a good amount of mature trees providing shade from the sun. Lockers are available and there are bathrooms. However, both times I've used the bathrooms, they've been NASTY. I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but you get the idea. If you're downriver and have kids, this is a must-stop-spot.

    Great park with good, convenient amenities…read more There are bathrooms close by, lockers for storage, and a splash pad that's open Memorial Day through Labor Day. There is a large walled-in sand pit and a huge playscape that has lots of climbing and tunnels. Great free fun for the kids if you live in or near Brownstown Township.

It's located on the shores of Belleville lake. It features lakeside boardwalk, picnic pavilion and wonderful lake views. There is fishing pier and public docks to launch Canoes/kayaks. It's a very nice setting beside the lake with benches and picnic tables. It was nice relaxing to walk down to the fishing deck. There were only few people so we were able to walk around freely. Several food options nearby.

Also a PERFECT spot to watch the sunset, and even do some fishing. We searched out a nearby park to cap off our weekend visit to Belleville for the Thunder over Michigan Air Show, and this was a PERFECT spot, and walking distance to downtown, along with various bars/restaurants. This side of town seems to be older, more relaxed, while everything we had seen earlier in the weekend (off of the "main drag" Belleville Rd.) was more rushed, with plenty of chain restaurants that we wanted to avoid. The slow, relaxed walk along the water's edge of just a small portion of this wonderful town park did wonders to repair our (my) frazzled Air Show nerves, and to give us more of a real taste of this lovely area. Well kept-up, clean, nice walkways, benches and picnic tables, and a sunset that just can't be beat!! Hope to return again one day SOON!!!

They took a bad park and made it horrible. The park used to: Flood Have bad mosquitos 2 playgrounds Lots of run down equipment A walking path. They removed the playgrounds and replaced it with half of a new one that I could have built with 4 2x8s and some PVC pipe and plastic. They added a bathroom/dog wash that's been closed every time I've been there. A fence that splits the park in half and destroys the walking path. So now you have HALF a park that: Floods Has bad mosquitos Lost the walking path Lost the playgrounds Still has run down equipment. This city is horrible. This park is horrible. They should be ashamed.

It has a paved walking path around the perimeter and some playground equipment that is in dire need of TLC. They had an accessible friendly playscape but removed it at the end of last summer and are building a restroom pavilion. Avoid the park at all costs after a rainstorm during the spring / summer due to the mosquitos because they will literally carry you out of their park. We've also had a few run ins with dogs off leash which is frustrating. This park is slated for upgrades in the coming years.
