It also has an indoor bathroom facility with concession stand along with a covered picnic area. Relative to the baseball fields, they are in excellent shape with a well maintained dirt infield and a nicely grassed outfield (no patchy rock filled outfield). Dugout areas have protective fencing with nice benches with separate spectator bleachers for each field. There are numerous adult and children leagues running throughout the spring, summer and fall at this park with sign up info posted near the fields. Similar situation with the single soccer field that also is in excellent shape with leagues running continuously through the warm months. The bathrooms and covered picnic areas are also exceptionally clean and very modern where the township has staff maintaining it on a daily basis. Overall a very nice park where i am very happy to see where some of my tax dollars have been well spent. Really a gem of a sports park that West Bloomfield should be quite proud of.

The only complaint is the infield could use some grooming to eliminate the grass that is sneaking up through the infield dirt. Other than that, nice baseball complex for waterford area.

This field was dedicated to my Great Grandfather. King Boring…read more C. King Boring made his biggest impact on the sports world after he graduated from Salem High School in 1922. After graduating from Northwestern University with a degree in business and accounting, Boring nearly hit big as an owner of a professional basketball team. Boring, who was nicknamed (the legaly changed to) King because he took on and beat the school bully growing up, purchased the Detroit Gems in an era when pro basketball did not have the appeal that it does today. The Gems were a barnstorming team that played in cities across the country. The Gems struggled to make a go of it financially. In 1947, Ben Berger and Morris Chalfen bought the financially strapped Detroit Gems from C. King Boring for $15,000. After the sale was complete, Berger and Chalfen relocated the Detroit Gems to Minneapolis. Their home games were played at Minneapolis Auditorium and the Minneapolis Armory. The Detroit Gems were re-christened the "Lakers" in reference to Minnesota's nickname, "The Land of 10,000 Lakes". Berger and Chalfen hired Max Winter to become the Lakers' new general manager. Max Winter later became a founder and owner of the Minnesota Vikings franchise of the National Football League. Winter bought partial ownership rights of the Minnesota Lakers, but later sold them when he left the Lakers in 1955. We now know the Gems as the Los Angeles Lakers. Basketball was not the only place Boring made an impact. He also made his presence known in baseball. Boring served a scout for both the St. Louis Browns and Detroit Tigers. Boring also coached a Class A level team in Dearborn, Michigan. On four occasions his teams reached the Class A national finals. The last came in 1978. Fifteen future major league players played for Boring. Perhaps the most famous was former Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres first baseman Steve Garvey. Boring was elected to the Dearborn Sports Hall of Fame in 1978. The city's softball complex is named after him. Boring first got into sports while growing up in rural Salem. He played basketball, baseball and track in high school. Boring recalled when he went out for the high school team as a freshman, competition was very stiff. He noted 93 boys were out for the team, but he overcame the odds and made the varsity. Boring died in April, 1996. Close to the courthouse, police station, the Henry Ford Centennial Library, and is part of the Dearborn Community and Performing Arts Center. The indoor area features a swimming pool with a lazy river, a gymnasium with full basketball courts, a climing wall and a fitness center. The outside area is complete with two full-size baseball diamonds, including King Boring Field, a full soccer field, play areas and a concession stand.

Visited for the first time for a baseball game . I was pleasantly surprised by how well organized…read moreeverything was. There were lot of people guiding way to our seats. We had a hotdog, drink and a bag of chips included with the ticket but there were a lot of other food and drink vendors on the spots. Though the ticket said no outside drinks, we were allowed water bottles probably cos it was really hot. We were able to park easily at parking lot A which is free and a 3 mins walk away. Restrooms were clean. Other than the convenience, the vibe was great. The game was interesting . I loved the music and cute fillers during the breaks. It was a motorcycle night on that day so we got to see bunch of amazing bikes in attendance. It was also Thirsty Thursday and they had 2$ beer. I look forward to hanging out here again for future games.

Multiple picnic tables and charcoal grills are available, as is a small children's play area. While there is not a lifeguard on-duty, there are swimming buoys, and bathrooms are on-site, as well. A recreational pass is required for entry and the park does not allow glass containers or alcohol. There were plenty of people kayaking and paddle boarding here, too. I would return!

As mentioned, there is baseball fields that are well maintained and a good size newer playscape. They have a covered pavilion with picnic tables and the bathroom was open to the public and it was clean. They have a basketball court and plenty of parking. Located right off 22 Mile, just East of Van Dyke freeway. You can park and walk over the catwalk, like I did with my kids. They waved at the traffic down below and even got passerby's to honk! Even a few big truckers! I remember doing that when I was a kid!

I've been here before simply to walk the paths and sit at a picnic table writing in my journal. I've also been here with a large group that rented a pavilion for a picnic. There are soccer and baseball fields, a playground, drinking fountains and restrooms in addition to the picnic areas. There are big open green spaces where friends have played spontaneous games of bocce ball as well. This particular part of Ann Arbor is rich with parks. Within half a mile are the Swift Run Dog Park and beautiful Lillie Park. Southeast Area Park isn't all that spectacular in terms of natural setting, but it is really nice for recreation and for large outdoor group events. I think it'd be perfect for company picnics or family reunions.
