The Burgh Historical Park
The Burgh Historical Park is a beautifully landscaped community park located in Southfield, MI. It features wheelchair accessible entrances and parking, well-maintained green spaces with vibrant flowers, picnic tables, and public restrooms located inside an old church event space. The park is a peaceful and inviting spot for relaxation, casual gatherings, and enjoying live musical performances during summer concerts. While it lacks dedicated children’s play areas and water features like a fountain are sometimes non-operational, it remains a charming place for leisurely visits and small events.

I had never been here but my boyfriend and I were looking for somewhere to park and eat on the way back from Southfield. This place is adorable! The grounds were impeccably landscaped. The grass was incredibly green and it was in early July so there was a beautiful array of flowers everywhere I looked in all colors of the rainbow. Overall it was a nice spot to sit and take a rest, maybe have some lunch. Five stars are directed toward all the people doing the gardening/landscaping here because it is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for all your hard work!
Town Hall Museum is open at 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm for Tuesday night Gazebo Concerts starting July 11 to August 22.
Cozy little neighborhood park with an old church that serves as an event space. It’s always clean, and they keep up with the landscaping. The only con is the past several times that I have stopped by, the fountain wasn’t running. I’m not sure if it’s under repair or permanently closed. It is a cute feature of the park, and I hope they get it running or replaced. Nice place for wedding or engagement photos or just a quiet place to spend an afternoon.
FYI: There’s no area for kids. I have seen a volleyball net but no swings or playscape. Also, there are no public restrooms that I have seen. They do have them inside the old church, but I don’t believe they are open to the public.
One of my favorite places to just chill and relax.
This venue must surely be the 21st century version of those quaint community-central park gatherings depicted in 1940s movies.
Very pleasant grounds, friendly staff, lots of friendly people, and very nice musical performance. Thank you Southfield.
