Talk to the Saline Rec Center if you wish to rent the pavilion. There is a kiddie playground. The sign says "no dogs" but we decided that the rule was because someone didn't clean up after their dog. While nobody else was there, we used the playground equipment for a little informal agility training. Don't tell anyone! There is a dog park with a fence. This is the only place in the park where you are allowed to have your dog off a leash. One side of the park is the Saline River, so if your dog is a major swimmer, s/he might escape the fence by swimming into the river. This is a really huge park. Lots of room to walk and run. The annual Celtic festival is held here.

There's a park that backs up to the fish pond at Saline Fisheries Research Station, and I find it…read moreamusing that it's called Wilderness Park, being that it's on the southern edge of downtown Saline. It's two acres of wilderness right on the edge of suburbia. You'll see a strip of mowed lawn along Willis Road, where it dead ends into Saline Milan Road. That's the northern edge of the park, which goes all the way back to the pond. Park on the street, or else in the gravel parking lot at Willis and Saline/Milan, opposite Fifth Corner. There are two paths into the wilderness. There is a faded map to help you chart your course. The trees are tall, so it's a good place to walk the dog on a chilly, windy day. If you go all the way to the shore of the pond, there are some benches, in case you want to sit and meditate on nature for a while. The pond sees a lot of action: mallard ducks, Canada geese, kingfishers, egrets, herons, etc. Most years, I have seen a pair of swans raise babies.

This is a very nice park. It located deep within a residential neighborhood. There is plenty of…read moreroom for picnics and even a public event. There is just one portable public toilet here, so, if you have any event you would want to plan accordingly. The parking lots are in good condition, however, compared to the size of the park they are rather small. The neighborhood is quiet where the park is located. There is a mix of play equipment. Some classical slides and 'merry-go-round'. One slide is super tall. There is also a more modern play area. There is plenty of walking space. The ball field is in good condition for baseball and softball. When dry the fields should be fine for volley ball.

The park is within walking distance of the library and also has a small basketball court and a baseball diamond (with bleachers and a drinking fountain). I love that it's so removed from the road--I can let the kids run up and down the hills without worrying about traffic. We spent time here as much as possible.

This does have trails along Paint Creek, but the main focus is on sports at this park. It has softball and baseball diamonds and tennis courts and is used for cross-country skiing and school nature activities. There's also a large playground in it. The park has nice, big, shady pavilions and picnic tables in more sunny areas as well. It's very close to the local Meijer and Target, so if you run out of supplies, you don't even have to get in your car to get some extra paper plates or potato salad.

Would note that that it is prone to get muddy so expect that after rain and dress accordingly. Note - they've taken down the old boardwalk. Not sure if they are just removing it or if they are creating a new one? Pittsfield township also often has fun activities in the park, like Halloween or St Patrick's Day themed walks/"scavenger hunts". Cute little touch.

Uncrowded park for jogging or walking 2-3 miles near Ann Arbor! I drove here (about 9 minutes)…read morefrom the Hyatt Place. This park has two sections (North and South). I took time to walk along the path from the parking lot, past the soccer fields toward Turtle Pond. You'll need to walk about 0.5 miles to see the pond, but it's a lovely respite and seems dog-friendly. One downside is the proximity of I-94 which means that you'll hear the background noise of cars and trucks in the distance. It's not super-loud, but noticeable if you had expected a serene walk. Another downside is that the trail does not have clear signs or color stripes - but you can figure out the main route by using the pond as your guide. Would recommend folks staying in the hotels on the south side of Ann Arbor to give this park a try - it was really nice for jogging or a long walk.

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.

The little ones enjoy the beach entrance and the older ones love the diving boards and swim lanes. There are so many other things to love about GTCC, but the other day I rented the clubhouse for a baby shower and that is my main reason for writing a review. This was a PERFECT rental facility for our event! It is really pretty and clean inside with use of a mini-kitchen, a bar area, a ton of tables, chairs, some couches and also a lot of space. The managers are excellent communicators. They were flexible with our set-up plan and the price was fantastic for what you get! If you are considering this venue you should look no further!

There is no parking lot, per se, but there is room to park about a half dozen cars. There will be mosquitoes as soon as you emerge from your car, so be prepared. Also bring your hat and sunscreen, if it's a hot and sunny day, because even though this place looks shady and dark from the road, most of it is open prairie. It's only about a quarter mile through the buggy part of the park. Stay on the trail to avoid the poison ivy, which is a native species, so no complaining--it's a food source for luna moth larvae--did you know that? If you keep heading due east, you will emerge into a very open and sunny part of the park. There are signs to identify some of the trees and flowers you will see there. Some of the signs identify non-native species. I wish they would distinguish. Just a little detail that we nature freaks would notice. There are mowed paths all over the open part of the park. Here and there, you will find plantings of native wildflowers. In the very center of the park, there is a pavilion, but no tables. I think the chimney provided as a home for chimney swifts is a neat idea. Where did they nest before there were chimneys? Hollow trees, I suppose.
