My daughter and I took a brisk walk around the park, something that I haven't done in many years! I used to come here a lot when I was little and feed the ducks, tid-bits which are a cheese like snack that was sold in a store on the premises. I don't come here during the evening anymore because I don't feel safe. I will start coming in the morning just like when I take my kids to Belle Isle.

I had never heard of this place since I'm not from Michigan but I went the other day and they have restored it and it's BEAUTIFUL! I took plenty of pics of the Fall colors! They were in full color! Nice, relaxing place to sit by the water!

This park is SO GREAT! We had lunch at a nice covered log table/chairs, played by the splash pad, spent time at the playground, and walked to the start of a few trails. This looks like a great find for the summer and beyond. The park and water areas were not crowded when we arrived. The murals on the community building and the DIA Art displayed around the trails are beautiful. I look forward to exploring this park more next time.

Beautiful Park for a quiet walk. Lots of wildlife and stunning scenery.

Palmer Park is coming back. The Michigan State Fair Bandshell has taken residence up on the north side, accessible to West Seven Mile Road, next to police station. It should be a new venue for outside con arts for seasons to come. Glad it was saved
