Lola Valley Parkway
Lola Valley Parkway is a large, picturesque park in Redford Township that offers amenities such as picnic tables, slides, swings, and a playground suitable for children and families. It is well-maintained in some areas and provides a quiet, private setting, especially during the day, making it great for picnics and walks. However, portions of the park are left as ‘Grow Zones,’ and there are concerns about safety and local activity after dark. Restrooms are closed all summer, which may be a consideration for visitors.

A nice huge park to walk, sit or play. Grew up near it and still visit it to this day.
Rest rooms are closed all summer. How can you hang out without using it? Disappointed
Decent experience when we were enjoying a picnic during the day, then after the streetlights came on, the local criminal, drug-addled element descended on the quiet, picturesque little park. The calls of dealers selling from their cars, blaring, bass-heavy ‘music’, and the catcalls and slurs from their children and hoes became the order of the evening. What we thought was a family type setting, became a 2 live Crew video after nightfall. Guess that is what this area adjacent to the Detroit border is now… Sad..
Very private and not busy for all it offers, I’d highly recommend it forvadults, not just kids, the playground area has soft mats, feels amazing on your feet lol
This is a cute, well-maintained park best for smaller kids. Kind of a hidden gem in Redford.
When I first started using the park about 10 years ago, they used to mow about 90% of the park. Since then, they stopped mowing larger and larger areas and labeling them “Grow Zones”. So now, barely 50% of the grass is maintained and it is allowed to grow into unsightly, rat infested, unusable waste high swampland. Similar thing happened to Rouge park.
