Our department had a team picnic today. One of our team members lives in AP and was able to a…read morereasonable down payment for the bathroom keys. They had tennis courts for pickle ball and a good open field for volleyball, corn hole and fowling. There were about 6 rows of about 4 side by side picnic tables under the shelter. We needed the shelter while eating since it down poured some today. There is a small parking by the tennis court and school, another on the other side of the playscape and a bigger one by the school, but it was under construction.

This park has just about everything and is huge. It has a large parking lot, tennis courts,…read morebaseball/softball fields, 2 playgrounds, some covered pavilions, and in inline hockey rink. There is also a paved walking/jogging trail. The covered pavilions have picnic tables under it, but I do not think there are any grills. You will have to bring your own. The park appears kind of old and is relatively maintained. It could use some lawn care. The two play grounds are on opposite ends of the park from each other, along with the pavilions. One play ground has older equipment. The other new playground (by the high school) is bigger and has more modern equipment. It has a huge jungle gym with slides, bridges, and poles. There is also a set of modern swings, a set of regular swings, and a dome climber over there as well. The older playground has a very small metal slide (ouchhhh, on those hot summer days), and two sets of worn swings that have seen better days. As an added bonus, the park has a couple of restroom facility and paved paths that could be used for walking. They are not very long so you would probably get bored running up and down them. The baseball/softball fields are world class and have lights. I think they are used for Allen Park rec league ball mostly, but can be rented. The same goes for the inline-skate rink. The park is located in the backyard of Allen Park High School and I found it hard to differentiate what facilities belonged to the park and which belonged to the school. This is a nice park and definitely worth a visit or planning a special event at. Whether it be a baseball tournament, tennis match, picnic, party, or walking your dog. It has tons of stuff to do.

I wish they had a more up to date city page with better info and hours..maybe even a map and a few photos. Entry cost wasn't bad. It's a lot cheaper then a zoo bit also a slot smaller then a zoo too. We saw the farm/zoo cat. They had lots of ducks, some donkeys, a few cows, pigs and goats. And then maybe alpacas? I'm not sure. Very long necks. We went at about 75 degrees. The time was 11ish but they do say the animals are more active when it's cooler out. So 75 degrees should give you an idea. The goats were very friendly. They enjoyed being pet and stood there for a long time for us. One of the pigs came over too. The cat liked being pet but only a certain way. And if you didn't do it. You got a reminder gentle bite, but a bite nonetheless. The cows, alpacas, ducks and donkeys were not interested in coming over. The animals were all fed around noon which was a cool time to be there too. Word if caution, the fence is vinyl. One if the cows got excited it was gonna be fed and bumped into the fence. It bowed so badly, it scared me and I pulled my kiddo back. They are quite powerful.

Everything is very accessible for kids; and safe. There are workers who bring out various small animals for kids to pet. The goats, of course, are always by the fence wanting food.

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.

With a/c upstairs in the weight room, I would give it 4.5 stars AND renew my membership.

While growing up, my family belonged to several swim clubs over the years (and I have visited many others for parties and other things) and none come close to CGPA. Here's what makes CGPA great: Amazing Staff - This pool is well-maintained and well-run. Diving Board and Slide - Need I say more? Outside Food and Beverage (including alcohol) allowed in the pool area. Great Events and Kids Activities - Labor Day Party and Fireworks, Campout, Candy Bar Bingo, Dads Cannon Ball Contest, Swim Lessons, Water Aerobics Snack Bar prices are basically at-cost. The only thing about CGPA that could be improved is the pool stairs. They're not built-in and can be a bit difficult for swimmers with mobility issues. I'd love to see permanent stairs be added to the pool and perhaps one of those lifts that are becoming more and more common at pools.

The actual splash/water part is usually pretty clean and well maintained. What makes it great for us is that the water area is totally wheelchair accessible. There is one weird patch of grass we have to cross over to get to the water. It's weird they didn't lay concrete right up to the water area, but that is just a minor inconvenience.

Only thing I do not like are the GIANT NAILS sticking out the ceiling! There's literally hundreds of them!

If you're going to have a recreational facility, thousands of sharp nails should not be sticking out your interior ceiling.
