๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Nice outdoor activity for the kids with a heated space for nonskaters to wait. Not as good as downtown Detroit but also better in other ways. Less of a crowd, available bathrooms, and plenty of shopping nearby. People often mention park,

    My 2nd time coming here to attend the festival Bรจl Bagay Lakay by the Haitian Network Group of Detroit . Friendly atmosphere and the proximity to local shops makes it convenient. Definitely an experience to recommend.

    There are many events throughout the year. Close to restaurants and movie theater. Good place to go and have a quiet night out.

    This cute little area holds events year round. Spring and Summer have farmer's markets and they even have ice skating in the winter! Bathrooms are spacious, private, clean, and kid friendly!

    This is absolutely the best free rink I have ever been to. Itโ€™s even better than campus martius! They are refrigerated and I donโ€™t think thereโ€™s a Zamboni but the community keeps out smooth and they have shovels there for you. They even have nice party lights strung up for an awesome vibe. Itโ€™s refrigerated soo itโ€™s open when itโ€™s warm or snowy when others wouldnโ€™t be. They donโ€™t have skate rental but they have a huge selection of used community skates to choose from for free. They are open mid December through February with special party nights on weekends. Sun-Thursday open til 10 pm and 11pm Friday and Saturday!

    A great city park, hosting the Veggie festival. The entertainment was very good, acoustic group doing classic rock and pop songs.

    Wonderful place to be. Close to shopping and starbucks for wonderful coffee. I walk down here all the time during the spring and summer.

    A very nice annual Harry Potter New Year's Eve skate party. Postponed a week due to warm weather.

    It's not a bad looking park to go there.

    I never even knew this was a "park". It's more like a bandstand at the edge of a strip mall parking lot. I always though it belonged to the strip mall.

    It's a very nice park with an outdoor ice rink during the winter. We also have Lunch Beats June and July, where there is live music Wednesday afternoon between 12 and 1 PM, come on down and enjoy your lunch!

    Listened to the (jazz) music in Riley Park with friends. Part of the Riley Park summer series.

  • 5/5 Christopher D. 2 years ago on Google
    Small pavilion, but completely full with activities and events! It's become the hub for Farmington residents, and all the events that happen all year round: Farmer's Market, Ice Rink, Halloween, and even if you just want to casually relax, there are plenty of seats and local shops to keep you satisfied. Wonderful location.

    Parking is just okay. But love the ice rink. Wish it opened earlier like 8 or 9. Love the community vibe. But dislike the lack of rule following. People walking one ice with their shoes. Or my least favorite people pushing people around on the metal picnic chairs on the ice and ruining it. Also when it snows the city doesn't shovel clean the entrance to the ice rink so I have fallen and others have fallen getting off the rink.

    Awesome spot to skate, free and they even have a rack of skates you can borrow. The shelter is heated (turns on at 11am) and lit. There is music and places to sit, as well as well maintained restrooms. Love this spot!

    Great weather. Best place was "Ground Control Coffee โ˜• Roasters." Great coffee. Great owners. Check them out. They will be located in downtown Farmington across from the Civic Theater. Tentative grand opening will be June 15th.
