Helms Haven Recreation Area is a conveniently located park in West Dearborn. They offer a softball diamond, playscape, picnic shelter and plenty of parking. There are nearby party stores for those in need of last minute supplies, as well as cement trails in both directions that goes for 15-20 miles west in Hines, and about 5 east to Michigan Ave. Great for reunions, parties or a rest in the park.
Went to Saturdays in the Park, the road is closed to motor traffic from 9 to 3 on Saturdays. I liked the bathrooms. Found a shady place to park. Challenging 13 mile ride. Will be back.
Such a great park, we have lots of fun here, but be careful of the broken rope ladder!! Have fun!
Clean area nice for kids or family gathering
Nice recreation area of Hines Park. Plenty of available picnic tables and bbq grills. While out exercising I and some family members decided to have an impromptu grill session. We bought some groceries and aluminum foil to cover the public grill (grill grates don't appear to be cleaned regularly by park personnel) and had a great cookout. We cycle here every weekend and always find other park visitors to be extremely friendly and cordial. It is always a very diverse crowd and Hines Drive is closed to vehicle traffic every Saturday morning in the summer to facilitate safe biking, running, rollerblading and walking.
