The unpaved trail is wide, clear, and flat, so it's easy for walking and jogging. Depending on the weather/rain, the trails can get muddy and flooded. Playground equipment for kids, and two separate areas based on age range. One area is designated for kids ages 2-5, and the other area is for ages 5-12. Plenty of picnic tables and easy parking.

We have participated in a couple programs sponsored by West Bloomfield Parks & Recreation including…read morelunches and, last year, a Heroes Appreciation Lunch that included veterans and active duty that was held at the Orchard Mall with a buffet lunch and musical entertainment that was nicely done. This year with concerns over the virus and dealing with a more susceptible population of older veterans, They put together a setup for a carry-out bag lunch for veterans and spouses. We signed up and on November 6th we drove to the West Bloomfield Parks and Recreation at the Civic Center and found it to be well marked as to where we should go. We first pulled up to check in, then drove to a stop at a tent where our lunches were handed to us, then slowly drove out past a crowd of people including police and fire with their flashing lighted vehicles cheering for us. We then proceeded to the exit and went home to have our lunches which were actually very good: Turkey Club Sandwich, Macaroni Salad, Bag of Chips, Slice of Apple Pie, and a Carton of Milk. They also included a goodie bag with various items. West Bloomfield Parks and Recreation does a great job supporting veterans and seniors and this is just one example of what they do.

This park has huge potential, they have a baseball field and soccer field and splash pad area . I…read morelove this because my son plays soccer. They even have a library right next to it in the same parking lot and small park. I have visited this place many times including the library with my son but only in the day time. Because it is located in Hamtramck,Detroit Michigan border. So honestly would Not recommend visiting at night at all.

This park is massive. It can be accessed from two different ends, Conant Street and at Charles…read moreStreet. The park is so big that it looks like two different parks. It has two large playgrounds, one on each end. a lot of green area, some soccer fields, a splash pad and some baseball/softball fields. The side of the park off of Conant Street seems pretty new. They have a new covered pavilion, nice new playground equipment and still working on the the lighting and grass. There is also a lot of green space over on that side as well. The pavilion is nice and has picnic tables under there. The playground has wood chips on the floor and has a nice see-saw, a small jungle gym, a saucer swing and some regular swings. The Charles Street side is where the softball/baseball fields are located and the splash pad. There is also a couple of pavilions over there with picnic tables under them, a restroom facility and the soccer field. That side also has a playground. It has decent equipment. The splash pad is very nice and has a bench you can sit and watch the kiddos frolic. It operates from 11AM to 7PM, in season. The playground is lined with wood chips and has a swing set and a nice jungle gym with slides. There are benches there too. There is an area with picnic tables that are covered by a neat canopy a little further out from the playground. It is very trendy and looks pretty new and neat. You cant miss the bathroom over there it is very colorful. The fields seem well maintained and there are paved paths that make a decent walking/jogging trail. The park has benches and square picnic tables throughout. This is a pretty cool park. It is somewhat calm and peaceful and has a lot to offer. You can bring the kids to the playground, jog around, walk your dog, play in the fields, frolic in the splash pad or just kick back and relax.

Walking pathways are well designated. Recently, some public art was added. Pics below. Downsides. The park has some litter. Empty water bottles within an arm length of a trash can.

Eliza Howell Park is a public park in the Brightmoor neighborhood of Detroit. According to its…read morewebsite, the park is made up of 250 acres of preserved land in the flood plain of the Rouge River and has over two miles of hiking trails I visited the park for the first time to participate in a walking tour with a local non-profit. This park has so much potential if only the city invested more funds in its upkeep and landscaping. I thought my vehicle would be swallowed up by the huge potholes around the parking lot. I noticed some trash on my walk. I was told that the park was closed for a while and volunteers from the local community brought this park back to life. It's a very beautiful place for a nature walk and I hope that more is done to restore the park to its former glory.

I think i did eventually maybe end up passing a lot while exploring the trail, but I ended up just parking near the circle, which felt weird and had me anxious the neighbors would call and get my car towed. Other than that it's just getting out of winter so there's not much growth to see, but it's nice to get out even with the mud. Hopefully someone else's GPS will route them somewhere, or they just won't have the anxiety I did parking and driving through a neighborhood with kids playing around feeling like a creep LOL!
