Olson Park is 54 acres, making it more than medium sized. The off-leash dog park requires a permit in advance ($6 or $12 for a year, rolls eyes). There are also wetlands, a creek, athletic fields and a rock climbing playground. Mountain bike trails and paved walking/jogging trails too. Lots of parking. [Review 11118 overall, 891 of 2019.]

The playground structure is big and was swarming with kids on a recent summer day. Parking is easy here, even when soccer season is in full swing, since there are multiple lots; one by the soccer fields, and one over by the play structure.

Hewen's Creek Park is relatively new. Land was set aside for the park in 1999. The area is nearly…read more200 acres, and includes a former homestead (hence the old orchard) and a substantial dike and fishing pond. The entrance is a little hard to see as you drive down Bemis Road. You might blow right past. The parking area is small. There is only room for about 4~5 cars, and when we went there on a Saturday afternoon, there were already several other cars parked on the side of Bemis Road. People were unloading mountain bikes from their cars. We decided that this wasn't the place to have our dog pull her cart. We didn't get that far into the park because I was (stupidly) wearing only sandals, and there was a bit of poison ivy visible along the edges of the wide, mowed trail. As soon as the trail narrowed down, I realized that this is hiking boots and jeans territory -- or else, better done on mountain bikes. The hard-copy maps had run out, but if you have a smartphone (I don't) you can scan for a map. The best map I can find online is here: http://www.eyeonmichigan.com/guides/ypsilanti/maps.php?map=4

We love having this option walking distance in our neighborhood instead of having to load up the car just to go to a dog park. Being a baseball diamond it's a huge space and it makes me so happy to see our pup getting to run around off leash and know he's not going to wander off or get into trouble. It's a volunteer run so I'm grateful for those folks who have been helping maintain the space. I haven't had a lot of time to help yet but I'd like to in the future, especially if it keeps it running. I'm not sure if it will stay during outdoor sports season but we hope so! But for now, it's a great way for our pups to get some fresh air and socializing during the winter months (though you won't catch us there when it's under 25 degrees outside!). Haven't been during a warm up yet so I can't say if it gets muddy or anything but so far so good on cleanliness, too!

I've been on a slow mission these past few years to visit all 13 of the Huron-Clinton Metroparks…read more I've notched 10 so far and Delhi is my least favorite. It's not a bad little park, nestled on the winding Huron River with a couple ball fields and well maintained bathrooms. But little is the operative word there. Delhi just doesn't have that Metropark feel. At just over 80 acres I knew Delhi was the runt of the Metropark litter and had my expectations set low. Both Kensington and Stony Creek sprawl for well over 4000 acres. I knew I wasn't walking into anything like that and I had something to attend to in Ann Arbor so I wasn't making a special trip for this park. Even still Delhi underwhelmed me. It might be a lovely place for a picnic or family gathering but damn, the single trail doesn't even venture into any woods! The single lane orange bridge leading here is a pleasing quaint sight, but the traffic light that lets only vehicles from one direction move through is another flashing sign that Delhi is pretty small potatoes. There is an area west of said bridge I didn't even explore, not knowing it was there, but I can tell from maps it's a lot smaller than the main chunk of the park and not enough to boost my ranking here. There is a livery for renting canoes and kayaks there, but for all I know it has a separate listing on Yelp. And it's still several amenities short of a typical Metropark. Also, good God, there was a tremendous amount of goose poop on the early July evening I visited Delhi. I mean, Mother Nature and Mother Goose will be what they'll be but anywhere near the river i. e. what little scenery this park has was a veritable minefield of gander dander. Belle Isle can have this problem after the first spring thaw but I was surprised to see the grounds of a subsidized park look like this in the middle of summer. I guess Huron-Clinton Metroparks only saves the tiniest sliver of its budget for this red headed stepchild of the chain. (I read this park was given to the chain and they obviously decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth.) I'm sure there's locals that love this place but Delhi Metropark is more like Delhi micropark.

Lots of grassy areas, "real" bathrooms in a nicely separated facility though not far from the picnic tables. We took our fresh pressed cider and donuts from the Dexter Cider Mill here to eat. And then we played along the Huron River which flows gently though this part of the park though there are rapids a bit farther away. But we had nice views of the geese on the river here. There is a very nicely designed and rather unique play structure, designed as a ship, nautical themed all around. It was good for even a toddler but with adult supervision. Since it was an uncrowded weekday, no competition with older kids but I suspect it would be a very different experience when it's very full. The parking lot is large but I imagine even it will be full at certain times. It's an easy drive from Ann Arbor and a very nice part of the MetroPark system.
