As a novice of woodworking, I was blown-away by the intricate woodwork and finishings throughout the home. The three ladies that lead our tour of the home shared many interesting details about the property, its restoration, and details of Clara and Henry's years at the estate. Many of the restoration stories, like finding a tub for Henry's bathroom or how Clara had a section repainted white were intriguing. Even though much of the home, especially the second floor, is still being restored it was a fascinating experience.

There wasn't much actually open amongst the majestic-looking buildings while I was there, but the picnic area was hopping. The signage was bilingual-in English and Arabic-and what appeared to be a Yemeni wedding seemed to be taking place. The juxtaposition of the estate of an industrialist (or robber baron, or visionary, or racist, depending on your point of view) with a distinctive immigrant community makes for a striking reflection on Americana. The grounds include some gardens, and a lake with a path around it. Access to the river is limited, but it didn't look like that impressive of a river. The greenery is more worthwhile.

There's a splash pad, a pavilion, picnic tables and across the parking lot, a play ground. While I've only been there on weekday mornings, there hasn't been a big crowd, but it isn't deserted either. It was easy to follow my toddler daughter around the brick paved walkways and still not be far from the food and conversation with our group. I also saw a woman setting up for a child's birthday party there one day. I think that was a great idea! There are several different activities for the kids, and a nice central area for everyone to meet up.

I've also been questioned while hanging out in my hammock by the trees because it was assumed I'm a vagrant who wanted to camp out. Nope, just wanted to relax and read a book, not really a weird concept. That being said, this is a very nice, quiet, and enjoyable park. The walking/biking path is excellent and nicely shaded due to all the old growth trees. The playground, splash pad, restrooms, and baseball/soccer fields appear to be well taken care of and I've never felt unsafe while running through. I'd give it five stars if Dearborn didn't get all rude and uptight about the way they run their parks.
