Absolutely a great place for the family and kids. Lots of walking trails, picnic tables and grills, concrete walkways and pads for picnic areas. Very handicapped accessible. Great fishing in the pond or The Paint Creek. Big fish in the creek. Tennis courts, Volleyball courts,and more. Lots of pavilions and bathrooms. Reservations for some pavilions. Lots of shade all around the park. Connecting to the Paint Creek Trail that traverses for miles. It’s a great way to get out and enjoy nature and the park. Ty Rochester Parks and Rec. ✌️👍

Loved it so much. If you REALLY want to touch some grass, this is THE place to go to. So much greenery, and natural life. It’s also family friendly, with so many picnic spaces and playgrounds. It also includes so many bike-friendly lanes.

Excellent park. Well kept, lots of great spots for relaxing.
Paint Creek Trail runs behind the back which is one of the better walking/biking trails in Michigan.
Quiet and peaceful, I have never seen the park crowded.
I am 52 and me + the wife hung out here last Sunday and had an excellent time.
I used to drink here as a teen. Lots of good memories.
A great place to relax, read, picnic, chill.
Well-maintained restrooms.
Pretty sure this park never closes.
We have come during the day, and we have also come at 2am.
Highly recommended spot for all.

We decided to take a walk around the City of Rochester's Municipal Park. We walked for over an hour stopping at various spots to take photos of the many buildings and various other activities.
The sundial(photos are all bleached out)as you enter from the parking lot next to the pollinating garden stands out as a very large structure.
Lots of ducks in and around the area. Also birds and squirrels flying and scurrying around the area.
There were 4 tennis courts, over a mile of paved walkway and a pond (for skating in the winter).
As far as buildings went. There was the open air shelters (the Kiwanis Shelter and the enclosed Lion's Shelter), Restrooms, Warming House, amphitheater for Music in the Park and Rochester Community House accessible from Ludlow Street.
For the children, 2 playground areas, one at the north end off Ludlow Street and one at the south end at the end of Pine Street.
Throughout the park area there were water fountains for both people and even a faucet to fill a dog bowl. Also a bike repair station and bike rack and a hot coal bin.
What makes this park really unique is that Paint Creek meanders through the entire park and Paint Creek Trail is along the edge of the park that goes up to Lake Orion.
Definitely a place to come back and visit again and again.

It's a great little park to spend some time in. You have a nice little pond for ducks to swim in. There's a playground for the kids to have fun at. Also, there are trails to walk through, and they connect with the Paint Creek Trail, the Rochester Riverwalk, and ultimately with the Clinton River Trail.
