Palmer Park

Palmer Park has a little something for everyone. The first time I came here with my 4 year old son, just at the start of spring, and there were geese with little fuzzy yellow ducklings everywhere!
Do not feed or touch the animals(not a petting zoo) but a great place to see wild amazing nature... in the city.
there are two parks, a lake with islands and a windmill, super friendly ducks who swim up to you .. dont feed them...
leave no trace there are trash cans...
there is a cool nature walk through the forest from one park to the other splash pads in the summer and alot of people who love this place. Yes it is in city, yes, there are maybe some things you may not see if you are from the burbs parents.. but hey! it builds character, teaching moments right?... no the fountain doesn't work...but it's pretty cool and the splash pad does work! The playgrounds are awesome. mind the one by the splash pad that spinny chair does go fast.
there are tennis courts, handball courts, basketball court, and disc golf course! orchards gardens and primitive grade a Michigan forest... that is fully accessible with a fully paved walking path if one is in a wheelchair or pushing a stroller.

One of my favorite places to walk and experience seasonal changes. Palmer Park offers paved paths, natural grassy and wooded trails, as well as a playground, tennis and disc golf! Perhaps most exciting is the future dog park for those with furry pals.

This historic park is complete with a Splash Pad, Urban Educational Garden, pavillion, Handball Courts, playgrounds, basketball court, MoGo bike stations, tennis courts and trails for hiking & biking amongst the largest forest in the Tri-County area. Plenty of benches. Dont forget to stop by and visit Lake Frances with its mini lighthouse.

There was a art/ Asian themed alongside other music artisans that was interesting & prolific in art metal, wood ,and paintings that was most captivating..... I felt at home with these artists and clergy..... When I was feeling down because of the beautiful music a random woman gave me a hug and prayed for me during my hour of need.... That's what community is in my eyes..... The great Henry Ford said it best "home is where you put your hat and that's just that!"
1930 model A Ford built at the Rouge plant. The silver medallion has Sagittarius on it and I bought it at the art exhibit.....

My husband and I love walking around the nature trails at Palmer Park. It's absolutely beautiful!
