Paved walking trail with lot of trees around. It also has swings for big kids and toddlers, portable restrooms. There are several pavilions and picnic tables suitable for a great picnic or outdoor parties. Pavilions can be rented. It's attached to an outdoor splash park with water attractions including a massive dump bucket. Adequate parking. Felt safe as it's located next to the police station. There are plenty of places nearby to grab a bite within the walking distance.

My husband and I brought our pups here for a little outdoor time during social distancing and despite it being a gorgeous Saturday early-evening we didn't run into any one else on any of the trails we explored. So it's a really great spot to enjoy some outdoor adventures without worrying about getting too close to other people. Beautifully maintained, tons of parking and pup friendly! Just remember bug spray if you get into the woods/near the river. I forgot and got eaten up quite a bit!

It was an awesome sunny afternoon in early May with temps approaching 60 degrees...the perfect time…read morefor a bike ride. Michigan's Washtenaw County has created a 35-mile "Border-to-Border" paved bicycle trail that winds from Dexter through Tree Town (Ann Arbor) and on to Yipsilanti. Much of the trail is off-road and provides plenty of welcomed shade and river views on a hot summer day. Today, my wife and I chose to ride 10 miles of the B2B Trail in the Dexter area that winds through the Hudson Mills Metropark. Given the pandemic, we saw plenty of courteous walkers, joggers and bikers sharing the 10-foot wide trail which enabled effective social distancing. The Hudson Mills Metropark section of the trail in Dexter is a true gem that offers fresh air, sunshine and the opportunity to get some welcomed exercise. We look forward to the time when we can once again stop into the Riverview Restaurant after our bike ride and enjoy a breakfast or lunch. Until then, we're staying safe in Dexter. 5 stars!

We just purchased a Rainbow series castle playset through Kids Gotta Play and had a wonderful…read moreexperience! Alex went above and beyond in helping us get set up to build it ourselves and giving us so many tips ahead of time. We started out looking at Lifetime playsets but once we compared the actual size of these sets to a Rainbow, there was really no comparison in terms of build quality and longevity. The Rainbow can accommodate little kids and big kids of all sizes and I have so much peace of mind knowing it's strong and sturdy enough to hold everyone safely. We've got kids ranging from 2-13 years old playing on this set everyday and they all love it for different reasons. We ended up building this ourselves because we didn't want to wait for the installation lead time. The poor quality of the instruction manual is the only area I cannot give Rainbow five stars (which is a reflection of Rainbow and not Kids Gotta Play). The instructions combined way too many steps into a single diagram on each page and used vague wording or not enough wording to explain the steps. We luckily had the help of a family member who is also a handyman. And Alex made himself available by phone to help answer questions when we still weren't sure on something which was so helpful. Other than that we're so happy with the purchase. I talked to Amy, Stephanie, and Jenny as well and they were all helpful in the decision process! It was so worth it to buy a playset through a local storefront where we could try out the sets in person, decide on options, and have real people in the store who know about the product and could answer any question about it.

Two bikers for every hiker. It can get crowded if you aren't hiking alone with bike traffic. Surprisingly not too many bugs even though it rained the day before. TH at the very end of the parking lot. Numerous pavilions, fishing piers, playgrounds, and a small beach. I took a dip in the lake after hiking and it was refreshing, but the shoreline is small and the swimming area doesn't go much deeper than four feet. Water was clear, to the point where I could see a band aid in the sand. On another note, coming from Detroit you will run into construction on HWY 96 (Summer 22) as you near Kensington Park. I had minor delays at 9AM, but on my way back there were massive delays with only one operating lane. Check before you go.

You have tons of runners also running thru the trails. It has a nice playground also for children to enjoy themselves. I was walking thru the trails also on a beautiful fall afternoon last month with the fall foliage in full effect. It was a beautiful sight with yellow and orange shades along with greenery that was coming toward the end of season. It was a very refreshing walk as I was making my way to a nearby sushi restaurant. The breeze was a little cooler and the temperature was around 60 degrees. A beautiful autumn day.

Instead it was a labyrinth of climbing and going in and out of wooden towers. It was difficult to follow along as I'm 6'2, 200. I barely fit in some of the spaces. But the kids had fun and had no issue at full speed. There is also a splash pad about 100ft away. It's not very fancy, but in combo with the playground and I'd say it's a pretty decent way to spend an afternoon. The library is next door too..

The recent updates are very nice but it is an absolute and total failure on behalf of the City counsel to price any sand all entertainment out.

It is a shame to see the park theater empty of any entertainment like it used to be. Make the price affordable or free to use, after all it is tax dollars that paid for it.

Integral with this park you will find a very nice large children's play area with multiple wooden structures, Outdoor fire pit, Veterans memorial, and outdoor concert area. Overall it is a very nice and well thought park that really adds a lot to downtown Brighton and is a great example why this small city is so desirable and a destination spot for spending a day or nite downtown. One of my favorite things to do when visiting my son who lives downtown is to walk to Mill Pond with my grandkids, let them play at the park and end up eating lunch there and/or getting them ice cream. Makes for an excellent and memorable day!
