  • 2/5 The Ferndale P. 2 years ago on Google
    All star ratings are for the bathroom, not the establishment. Harding Park has a 2 room bathroom on the south side of the park. It's not always unlocked, but we got lucky. The bathroom isn't that amazing, but I've seen worse in places that serve food. Single toilet, single urinal single sink. Upsides: It's decent for a Park bathroom, good natural light, and it's in the middle of 6 Pokémon Go gyms. Downsides: The sink has one of those faucets that has to be pushed down to spray water, so you can only wash 1 hand at a time... and the air dryer was so weak that I was better off shaking them really fast. But there is a nice spider buddy in the grate to keep you company...

    Shady, pleasant park with picnic tables, benches, pavilion, play structure and wood chipped hiking path around the perimeter. It's situated in a neighborhood, so it's quiet because surrounding streets don't carry a lot of traffic.

    Very clean. Walking path. A few play areas with one being wheelchair accessible. Even a swing that allows an adult to use with a small child!

    This is a really beautiful park tucked in a quiet neighborhood. Great shade trees, a very nice playground for the kiddos, a shelter to rent, and a great walking path. A fantastic place to bring the whole family, furry members included. I would highly recommend this park to others to enjoy a beautiful day. 10/10 will return.

    Love love love this park! Really big and so much room for Littles to run. Only thing I didn't like was how close to the road the play structure is. Just keep an eye on them and you'll but fine. Just keep that in mind.

    Tons of open space for kids to run and play. They also have a great shelter for rent.

    Went here for a picnic, and it is a beautiful park. Very well maintained. There is a baseball field, a basketball court, and I thought I saw bleachers as well. We were under the Pavilion and I didn't venture from there but I was very impressed with the park. Beautiful flowers were planted around the Pavilion. Oh and there are restrooms on site and great parking. I would definitely visit again!

  • 5/5 Ashley W. 2 years ago on Google
    Currently renting their pavilion to run a small summer camp. This park has been perfect! It's extremely well maintained, the maintenance staff are really nice and the pavilion is beautiful. I love the looped trail around the park, the roller hockey rink, and the baseball fields as well. I'm excited to start bringing my son to the playground once camp is done!

  • 5/5 Stadiume H. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful place to play 5-a-side Soccer. Had an absolute blast there. Will play there any time I can. The location is perfect. The facilities are great. The park is the perfect size for many activities. Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, etc. Will come again. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Zaenger D. 1 year ago on Google
    We go here for the outdoor roller/ball hockey rink. The tile is nice, pucks slide on it really well and it doesn't chew up sticks too bad. It is a little too slippery for me on the blades, I always end up sliding out if we play a game, so if you are planning to get a pickup game going I recommend shoes. There's also small pickup basketball courts, tons of soccer fields, a play area for the youngins, and water fountains Overall love the place.

  • 4/5 Beq vyper (. 7 months ago on Google • 32 reviews
    Nice park with soccer nets at one end, a place for dinner kids at the other and a hockey rink that can be used year round. There is a lit picnic shelter so you could hang out there at night but the mosquitos were biting when we visited and we didn't have repellent with us.

  • 5/5 Prashanth V. 3 years ago on Google

    Best park in Clawson!!

  • 5/5 Dave P. 3 years ago on Google
    Clawson Park is a great park that is in the center if the city and is pretty much ground zero for any events in the city. There's 2 playgrounds, a pavilion, picnic tables, grills, wide open spaces, bathrooms, etc. Definitely a great place to enjoy a day with the family.

    Tranquil place to hang out

👍👍 Great little skatepark in the neighborhood. We saw some great skaters during Ferndale’s Gravity Fair, 2022. Park has decent restrooms, and great playgrounds for the younger kid. Good shaded areas for picnics, and a pavilion too.

👍👍 I love this park, and so does my daughter. She names the parks by their color and she always chooses the blue park over all others. We love that there is open space to fly a kite or run around, along with a safe place to learn how to ride a bike. The park is great, and lots of fun for her and my ol...
