Play & Recreation Spaces

Located in Dearborn Heights, Nolar Bend Recreation Area is a simple but charming local spot where you can escape the hustle and bustle. Little ones will love the play structure nestled in an open grassy field - nothing fancy, but meant for burning off some energy while you relax nearby.

If baseball or softball is your thing, you'll come across two well-kept ball diamonds that host both casual weekend games and local leagues throughout the season.

Comfort & Accessibility

Scattered around the perimeter you can find picnic tables where you can enjoy a packed lunch or simply sit and watch the world go by. The park offers plenty of parking, so you won't need to circle around even on those gorgeous summer weekends.

One thing we appreciate about Nolar Bend is its accessibility - the pathways and picnic areas accommodate wheelchairs, making this a park everyone can enjoy together.

For Four-Legged Friends

Dog parents, rejoice! Your furry companions have space to stretch their legs along the park's trail and open field areas. Just remember to bring those waste bags along.

Practical Details

As evening approaches, you'll appreciate the lighting that keeps the park usable and safe after sunset. On hot days, the shaded seating areas provide welcome relief from the Michigan sun.

Nolar Bend isn't the flashiest park around, but that's part of its charm. It strikes a nice balance between green space and basic amenities, creating a peaceful spot for whatever relaxation looks like to you - whether that's watching the kids play, getting in some exercise, or simply sitting with a good book.
