Found ‘primitive’ walking trails that go way back into the woods. Beautiful place to find peace. Great park with lots of trails. No pets allowed. Free parking. Playground with a splash park. Nature abounds. Peaceful place to walk or run. An area with kindness stones to keep or leave. Lookout areas to watch birds. Even saw a turkey! Lots of chipmunks running throughout the paths. A small pet cemetery. Many different things to see and explore. Also plenty of picnic tables. There is an archery, stables and art studio as well.

Heritage Park in Farmington is truly a little hidden gem! It has a little bit of everything, and absolutely great hiking trails everywhere. There is an amphitheater where they have free concerts every year as well 👍

This is a great little park with a few options for different pathways. Not huge or long, but lovely, tall trees with some ups and downs. Good for a quick hike or go round a few times for longer. Parking may be limited as the lot is small.

This place has everything. The splash pad, playground, nature trails, and so much more. This is great for kids and the parents can relax and enjoy without not being able to see their kids play. I recommend coming and checking it out.

We stopped here on a road trip to take a break from the car, it's a great park! Nice playground, lots of space to run around, and little nature trails our 3 year old enjoyed. Especially the one with the tunnel! Public bathrooms were also a nice surprise. They were open and clean on March 31. I was expecting them to be closed for winter but they were not! The splash pad area looks like it would be a lot of fun in the summer!

Embarked on a delightful journey at Heritage Park, Farmington Hills, with a lively meetup of 25 nature enthusiasts. The 5-mile hike offered a perfect blend of slight slopes and muddy trails, adding an adventurous touch. Nature’s wonders unveiled as we spotted graceful doves and a majestic buck along the way. The convenience of well-maintained restrooms and ample parking enhanced the overall experience. Located just 2 miles from downtown, it’s a hidden gem for those seeking a nature retreat without straying too far. The scenic beauty, combined with wildlife sightings, made every step worthwhile. Heritage Park truly delivers a refreshing escape close to urban life. #NatureEscape #HeritageParkHike

Loved the overall experience. It has good amount of trails to explore. We can spend a whole day in the park exploring all the trails. You can take the longer routes if you have the time and shorter trails if you are with kids and want them to experience the trail experiences. It is a nice place to spend the day with kids as a picnic.I happen to see multiple deer sightings right along the trail side.

Absolutely love this park! It's so well maintained. The nature trail is beautiful and educational for kids. Our daughter will play in the Waldorf inspired Habitat Headquarters for hours. It's the perfect mix of park and nature preservation!

This is one of our favorites to regular. There's slides, trails, art, a splash pad, garden.. on top of all their annual events here.

Awesome park with lots of trail lengths to choose from. And difficulties. I took the river walk trail, and it has lots of ups and downs. Loved it! Quite challenging for a fast walk!

One of the nicer parks in the Metro-Detroit area. The trails are well marked & maintained, and they wind through forests and prairie areas along the upper branch of the Rouge River. The sledding hill is great for kids in the winter, and the splash-pad and playground areas are fun for younger kids in the summer. There are lots of picnic areas with grills available as well. And don't forget about the Nature Center! Lots to do here!

The water smelled of dead fish and it was brown and cloudy. 🤢 absolutely disgusting!

It's a nice beach and Kensington overall is worth the small yearly fee

Such a beautiful park with lovely colors of fall. Restrooms were open and clean. Kids play area and playground has a lot of options so kids can enjoy it. The picnic area was good too for the families to enjoy and have food. Dogs are allowed but need to be on a leash.

awesome place for kids. water splash pads plus playground and picnic tables

It's a educational feel good family friendly atmosphere place to spend the afternoon & explore. Very friendly people.

Beautiful park, great walking trails. Some paved, wood chipped, and gravel. Some inclines. I've pushed my clients with their wheelchairs here. They enjoyed the scenery. Lots of birds and deer.

Really awesome hayride in the fall.

I understand that the management are unable to keep any lifeguard for what ever reason.... but I don’t understand why there is no changing room or a clean up place. The beach are is dirty. The water is dirty. It’s like get in the water and take the dirty stuff with you at home. You probably can stop your self not to get in the water. But not your kids. So practically you are taking a wet dirt bag in your car and to the home .

Long walk to beach from lot. Good beach for an inland lake. Good for small kids because of the play structure.

Great area for a get-together or art fair! Clean, kept up well by park staff, and it's walking distance from the paddle boat, kayak and other boat rentals. Great boat tour on the hour, where you can sit back and cruise and learn a little more about the park and see wildlife up close.

FYI The only negative: Had to walk along the beach for a bit to find a break in the large amount of slimy seaweed for the little ones to get into the water. Otherwise, the beach, parking lot etc. were clean, no glass or plastic. 😊

Dogs loved swimming

Love Kennsington Park,has a nice quite beach,maple beach,qhere you can go relax and swim.We put our sun shade up and bbq also pet friendly

Good place for kids

I love this park. Lengthy trails, beautiful views, something for everyone...& overall a great experience. I've seen deer, raccoons, an owl, a hawk, frogs/tadpoles, ducks, geese and more common animals, such as squirrels, chipmunks & many different kinds of birds.

Absolutely love it! Today was our first time going since living here and we will be back soon. It had everything down to the volley ball nets and the snack shack which is called "Shark Shack." My son had so much fun on the playground and mostly the splash pad. Very nice park, clean and well kept.

Very good park for family outings. Park has nice short trails. You can expect surprise visits from deer and rabbits. The park has many attractions including play area for teen and adults. Ample parking spots are available for visitors. A must visit place for park lovers.

I am almost hesitant to put my true feelings in a review for this park because it's my favorite place. But the locals know what a genuine goldmine this place is. My kids love the splash pad which is free to use. I've utilized the archery range and had a wonderful time. I've attended this park for over a decade now to use the intertwining trails for both nature observation, and exercise. I truly wish that we as humans could conserve more pieces of land like this. There is so much to love here, enjoy!

Our friends from Farmington Hills graciously brought us to this enchanting park. It was a picturesque destination perfect for a leisurely nature walk. We were fortunate to witness an abundance of wildlife, including deer, turkeys, and various species of birds. The trail walk was a truly beautiful experience, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the serene surroundings and appreciate the wonders of nature.

Like this place. Did a little bit of biking but got to know we cannot bike here. But a beautiful park with pretty trails and have always found deers hanging out in the woods. Good place even in fall to see different colors.

Love this park for the variety of things to do, all year long. I would definitely recommend especially for the splash pad in the summer!

I adore this park. Very expansive and it offers a bunch of different trails from the interactive nature trail for kids to serene walking trails. It’s a very scenic area and offers a number of activity areas (e.g. archery, volleyball area, playground, etc.). Note, so you’re unable to bring your furry friends, as no pets are allowed at this park.

Stopped by for a quick walk in nature. We were just passing through and had been in the car for hours. It was very nice. The fall colors and beautiful. Looks like there is a nice playground and splash pad for the kids. Didn't have to explore too much but if we're ever back in the area we'll be back.

Nice park. Great trails. A little muddy right now :)

Our families favorite park. Lots of hiking trails and a wonderful playground and splash pad. Highly recommend also awesome if you play Pokémon go!!!

Rivals any state park with regard to the network of trails and upkeep and wildlife. Well done city of Farmington Hills! I do think more funding should be allocated towards the Goodenough house, it needs a new roof.

One of the best city parks. Looks small on the map but pretty nice. Well maintained and the deer is not very scare of human. Nicely used of taxes

This is definitely one of Michigans best family parks. There's so many nature and fun activities for families. My son loves the splash pad and volleyball courts. The nature center is definitely a kids favorite. Can't forget about the trails and amphitheater. Greats times and memories.

This park has a number of paths to walk. The paths go through wooded areas. I saw a red-tailed hawk fly across my path.

One of our favorite local parks. Can get crowded so use caution if going on the trails. Plenty of deer also come out at dusk.

I go here frequently with my family. Beautiful park thats well maintained. It also has easy and quiet hiking trails. My two young boys can walk them without difficulty

Amazing place!

This park is so nice, and I especially appreciate how quiet it is during this time of year. It's great for going on a nature walk and getting away from the craziness of life nowadays. There are also playgrounds and sledding areas. Just make sure to watch your step; some of the trails are icy and steep.

Great park, lots of walking trails, good for children

Great municipal park that is tucked away in suburbia. Family friendly with wetlands, playscapes, trails, and plenty of nature.

I cant wait to go back in summer and fall!

Not dog friendly? That’s ridiculous. There’s no other park to take dogs in Farmington.

We really enjoy Heritage Park. It's quaint, simple, and clean, with nice activities especially for kids. And right now people seem to be very respectful, wearing masks.

Delightful!

Big park lots of trails, some more woodsy than others. They have a nature center and lots of commodities for kids as well.

Great place to hike and see wildlife. No bike trials

The trails are great

The Spicer family would be pleased with the city of farmington hills. Superb management of this priceless gift is readily apparent!

Beautiful and expansive park!

Always beautful!✌🏽

Its got great trails there. Its a good place to go and relax.

Clean. Very nice

A beautiful michigan favorite. So many things to do. Path are wonderful for lovely walks. Many activities for children all year long. It becomes a magical place when it starts snowing. What a joyful place

Great trails! A nice place to un wind!

Nice place

So much beautiful nature and saw deer just hanging out. Great park

Many outdoor environments available for recreation. A people place!

Nice and clean place!

Beautiful place with very clean trails that are covered in wood chips which make it very soft and nice on the knees. Always nice to come here and take a walk in nature and unwind after a corporate work day

The park itself is lovely. This is my second time going, in the last few years. We thought it would be a fun outing to bring my mom along with my husband and myself and walk the trails and go into the woods on All Hallows Eve at dusk. It made for a fun Halloween! My only issue is perhaps not so much with the park, but with Google direction. We had a bit of a time finding the entrance because the signage from the street is not super obvious especially if you're rushing and I don't know what to look for. Google Maps directions took us about a half a mile down from the actual entrance to the park, probably because it's considered all apart of the same property. Thank goodness there was a gentleman in the parking lot where Google Maps had us turn in who was kind enough to let us know to get back on the road and drive back toward where we came from about a half mile, and that's how we found it. Hopefully we will be back!

Great nature trails, beautiful grounds, fun and educational sections throughout the park. Splash pad is closed for the season (Nov. 2, 2020). Could easily be a full day outing with the playground, educational center, lots of trails and picnic tables.

We love Heritage park. There are so many great walking and hiking trails and tons of wildlife around every corner. There is also a children’s nature trail and splash pad for the summer. There is something for everyone.

Beautiful and feels safe for families.

Many mulched trails and open trails. Lovely grounds and picnic areas. Large area for families and children. Interesting nature center.

Always love coming here. So many things to do between the playgrounds, trails and the wildlife!

Nice nature center awesome trails cute pond..Very relaxing for the whole family

Is a great place to hike with family

Nice beach, pretty empty easy to distance from others!

Good place for few hours hangout

Water is clean. Nice environment

It was ok the water was gross glad i didn't get in my kids had a blast

Ain't no place like maple beach

Amazing beach.

Safe small & at a drivable distance from the city

What a stunning area this is. Very easy to stay socially distant here while enjoying some nature.

Maple Beach is a great getaway and small beach atmosphere for the whole family. Its small enough to not be overwhelming, but big enough to not be overcrowded usually. It seems that it is gaining in popularity however. So it may be getting overcrowded soon. The only major downside to the beach is the fact that there is goose poop EVERYWHERE. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

Why not

Beautiful beach. Typically not too crowded.

very well organized marathon at this park!

Seems great. People are out normally evern during pandemic. Not one complaint from being sick like they say in Florida !

A great place for The Kensington marathon every year

Kensington Metropark has Alot of Outdoor activities that can be done baking, kayaking, paddle boating, canoeing, beaches, fishing, water park, farm with animals, disk golf course, tabogan run, hiking trails, wildlife preserve with walking paths, it has picnic areas all over with grills fun for all seasons.

Nice chill beach to relax at on a hot summer day, trees to sit under, nice atmosphere

Great place to meet up with friends.

Good place to spend time with family, but tree beach was little dirty with lots of seaweeds so was little hesitant to get into with my kid(well that dnt stop my kid though) . Overall it was good

No clean restrooms

Beautiful place

Nice place to visit for the family outing or just relaxing

Mice

Went to the Art Fair, had a lot of different vendors.

Great view

Great beach

Food. Clean restrooms and shower. Food

Beautiful and very spacious

It is a ok beach, some areas are dirty. The water wasn’t the cleanest either. They had a splash pad that looked nice. My grandson only wanted to swim and had so much fun.

I went to a car meet here and it was well maintained and all the employees were polite and respectful

Good place to spend time with kids, friends, family.

Its quite. But I don't like it

Nice park many scenic locations

A great place to take your family for hiking, picnic,playing volleyball, soccer, football, moreover a play ground for kids, Bar-B-Q places, huge fields all green, therefore you can spend a day with your family or friends and you can enjoy it to the moon and back, don't be afraid to think about parking place, there is plenty of parking palces for your car.i highly recommend it

Nice variety of well-marked trails. It's very quiet when you're on them. You could almost forget you're in Metro Detroit.

Nice trails The one by Spicer House is short. If you wanted to do it quickly You will get to see the old building. Also a restroom in the building. The other trails are nice also. There was a portable potty. by the one, I went in. I did get lost and ended up on the other side But not too far from my truck. Definitely worth going. I have stayed the longest at this trail there is alot to see.

What’s great place! I have been going to this park since I was a small child. Now I take my own kids here. There is something fun for everyone here. Nice sledding hill in the winter as well as a splash pad in the summer. The trails are long and the fields are huge. It’s the best park in the area!

Walked around. I used to go here a lot, many years ago. Seeing some of the new stuff, I was excited to bring the children in my family. Just be careful on the path as we saw a snake (garden), but I really like this park.

Looove this park! I hit the walking trails there regularly, the River Trail route is my FAV its so beautiful & peaceful! All of trails are amazing though, also the nature center, and play area for kids. There's something there for everyone!

What a FUN place! This park has everything you could imagine. The splash pad was fun and clean. My kids enjoyed the playground. There are several picnic benches covered and non covered. There was even a little snack shop that opened. The women's bathrooms were cleaned and we'll stocked. I wish they had a park like this where I live!

Really nice splash pad been going here for years with my kids My only complaint is I feel they should update it and make sure everything is working

In this part of summer the Park is beautiful 🥰 Highly recommend to visit this place! Nice playground which is close to a big splash park. So much fun for kids! Welcome for photo sessions with me there😉📸
