Wonderful park near my house. My husky loves it! So nice to find. Lots of activities when weather warms up.

We visit often because it's close by, but it is not accessible at all. Making matters worse, the pathway is completely blocked by a bench... it is so confusing. My son has to wheel onto the grass to get around it. It's not the brightest idea. The park has been amped up with pickle ball courts, has tennis still and basketball. The baseball diamond looks good. It would be SO great if there was a single accessible item to play with, besides the swing.. The paths are mostly good but it's a bit up and down and can be tough on those who struggle. Then there's the bench..

Not very small kid friendly. It’s a very small playground and seemingly designed for younger kids, yet it’s very dangerous for anyone under 4 or 5 to play on without very actively following them around. There is a baseball field (1) soccer area, basketball court (1) a tennis court (1), pickleball courts (4), an accessible porta potty, and a small pavilion. There isn’t electricity or anywhere to get power, and they just redid the parking lot to add more space to park.

So this park used to have free parking they are now charging for parking because it became popular. The app does not work well as a result I saw multiple cars with $40 traffic tickets. Several slides are broken and haven't been repaired in months and the main bathrooms at the park have been under construction for over a year so there's only Porta toilets. Why are my tax dollars going to a park that doesn't get maintenance that I have to pay for parking now when it was free before. Typical Rochester Hills politics have once again destroyed something that could be something really special
