Parkland Community Park

A Green Oasis

Nestled across 12.8 acres, Parkland Community Park is a breath of fresh air in Dearborn Heights. It's the kind of place where you can lose track of time wandering through well-maintained trails surrounded by lush greenery. No matter if you're looking to break a sweat with a morning jog or just take a leisurely stroll, the paths accommodate all kinds of activity.

Keep your eyes peeled for the local residents - not the human kind! Squirrels dart between trees, rabbits hop along the underbrush, and if you're lucky, you might spot some deer grazing peacefully. Bird enthusiasts will appreciate the variety of feathered friends, and yes, even turtles make appearances near the wetter areas. There's something calming about spending time in such a clean, verdant space that makes everyday stresses melt away.

Play & Sport

If you've got kids in tow, the colorful playground is bound to be your first stop. It's where laughter and energy abound as children climb, slide, and make new friends.

For those with a competitive streak, the tennis courts offer a great venue for a friendly match. The bike paths wind throughout the grounds, making it easy to explore the entire park on two wheels.

The youth sports fields are a popular feature of the park. These well-kept grounds host football and soccer practices and games, bringing families together to cheer on the local teams. On game days, the park fills with local families cheering on their teams.
