We had fun playing and going on an adventure as my 3yr old son and 4 yr old nephew call it. It’s was a beautiful sunny day and everyone seemed to be enjoying the sun and fun! 🌞
Such a great space for the community!! The trails are what I’m most interested in. They very from paved to wooded. Most are good for walking and biking.
Husband and i brought our 2yo son and 3yo niece to check out the new splash pad. I am overjoyed that there is something for this age group to really enjoy and be allowed to act their age. Was very clean the employees are very friendly and on top of making sure that safety was a priority since kids are fast and there’s a large area for them to run around in sometimes parents aren’t right there to correct their child. Was refreshing to see staff members being respectful but still enforcing rules. Parents can bring their own snacks for kids. Definitely thankful that Sterling Heights added this to the city parks.
Did not let my daughter in the water because she was wearing a shirt and she didn’t wanna wear a swimsuit or a bikini so she wore a shirt because she’s insecure they should not make that as a rule
Lots of parking. Admission only NULL bucks unless you have Sterling Heights ID its fee. Rental is like NULL I think. They clean the ice pretty often. I would say it’s never too crowded. They got food truck here and fire pits if you need to warm up. Check it out. Bring a helmet if you’re learning to skate.
