This place is over grown and dirty. The wooden castle is wonderful but it seems to be abandoned.I'm not impressed at all. Trash everywhere and weeds everywhere. Broken and missing swings. Broken fence. Trash in parking lot

We enjoyed the wood structure. It made it a little different from all the rest. It has like 3 slides, a tire to get on, and some swings. There is a splash pad there as well.

Was there yesterday 8.31.23. Trash was literally EVERYWHERE. Swings and other equipment were broken. Weeds were growing high all over the playground itself. I was not happy with what our kids have to play on. Who takes care of this and how often? This in unacceptable considering the city gives out tickets for lawns looking much less worse than this playground!

Splash pad is awesome. And the kids loved the big wooden playground. And it's free

Van houten park is an awesome park. We love going there. There's so much to do there. The boys love the hockey rink, basketball court, the splash pad and the play structure. Our church has an inner city kid's program that also frequently uses the awesome splash pad and play structure. There's also a baseball diamond. My family loves this place so much that we even rented the pavilion and had our wedding reception here.

Great Park my nephew loved it but the city needs to bug proof the area. There are Hornets flying and living in the wood. A kid got stung while we were here...

This is a great park. It's old and missing some things. A few chains are broken. But you can't find wooden playscapes like this anymore.

Nice park but the restroom is always closed spring summer when the water park is open the restroom is closed i don't know why this is a big issue for the kids when they want to use the bathroom its near my house i go everyday and closed my kids hated it cz of restroom

I love this park. Lots of fun memories and more to come. I’m taking my grandson on today.

This used to be my favorite park as a kid, but it looks like no one has touched it since. So sad!

First of all, filthy. Needs to be updated and upgraded badly. Grass needs to be cut. Visitors need to make their children clean up their trash. It's a very cool structure it's a shame that it's in such poor condition.

Splash pad, picnic area, play area, restrooms available. Not a bad place to let the kiddos run around. Not much to do for teenagers.

Omg so run down splaah pad not on garbage everywhere swings and play equipment broke def not a safe place for kids dauvhter got stung by bee there jst so much trash very run down batbrooms were locked never again

Cool little park…I grew up going to it since I was in high school now I take my kids…crazy how life goes it’s like a little time capsule in the middle of Dearborn HTS…I like the splash pad but the rest of the park needs improvement not much has been rehabbed or improved since…neat child friendly events happen here through out the summer I like to bring the kids…

Weeds and trash everywhere, no wood chips so your feet will be black after stepping into the playground. Very poorly maintained

I'm really sorry to give a low rating for this park but come on City of Dearborn Heights. Is this the best you can do? The track is great, and I'm Impressed with the hockey rink, basketball court, and baseball field but the park (and weird splash pad) are TEAR DOWNS. This very large area has potential to be great especially with the location right by the library and city hall. Please do something with this nice area of land. It would be an incredible investment for the city and the community. It's a shame to see such wasted potential.

Great place to relax and let the kids have fun..even a Pavillion if you need a place to barbecue

One of the coolest park structures, with lots of potential to be great! --Unfortunately, not very clean. Litter everywhere, which was a constant struggle to keep my one year old away from. My four year old had a fun time, but a lot of the equipment was more geared toward maybe a 6+ year old. Baby swing was broken. Overgrown weeds everywhere. Splash park was closed on a 90 degree day.. Kinda disappointed myself, but my kids both had a fun time. Not sure I would go back.

Once we pull up my daughter's eyes light up! I love the park also. It is so family-orientated everybody comes together as one. You always see familiar faces with just nice to know. Everyone looks after all kids to make sure that they're safe. Maintenance very clean. On the other hand, I was dissatisfied seeing that people parking in the handicap spaces without proper plating was distasteful , and the walk area to enter the park. If you have a child that is handicap or yourself such as myself , I think is very dissatisfying to see people take those spaces. I wish people will be considerate that people do need those spaces because they're unable to go places , and for the states to try and help make it convenient for us and to be taken away from inconsiderate people. If it wasn't for that I would definitely say this perk is a dream place for children and adults! Overall I still give the park or 5 because my daughter loves this park!

Love this place lots of Pokemon stops and the kids the the play scape. Only got 3 stars because one of the slides are broke and ripped my daughter's pants.
