Magnolia Park

Park Overview

Nestled in the heart of Sterling Heights, Michigan, Magnolia Park spreads across 16.7 acres of refreshing green space. This family-friendly park provides a peaceful space away from the everyday hustle, with tall trees creating natural shade around the grounds. The park combines natural beauty with practical design, making it accessible for visitors of all abilities.

Playground and Recreation

Kids light up at the sight of the modern playground, complete with swings that accommodate different ages and abilities. The plastic playscape sits atop soft woodchips, which helps cushion any falls. We love how the playground is positioned away from major roads - one less thing to worry about while the little ones play.

If you're looking to break a sweat, you'll appreciate the freshly updated basketball courts, tennis courts, and the particularly popular pickleball courts. Despite their popularity, the two newly painted pickleball courts rarely feel overcrowded. There's also a spacious multi-purpose field great for everything from casual frisbee tosses to organized soccer games.

Trails and Picnic Areas

The smooth, paved non-motorized trail winding through the park is ideal for walks, jogs, or bike rides. The path is well-maintained and regularly cleared, good for teaching children how to roller skate or ride bikes.

Dotted within the park are picnic tables and designated picnic areas - fantastic for everything from impromptu lunches to planned family gatherings. The thoughtful placement of these areas under shade trees creates comfortable retreats on hot summer days, however you'll find a nice mix of sunny spots too if you're looking to soak up some vitamin D.

Seasonal Features

The park's hill might not seem like much at first glance, but it transforms with the seasons. In winter, it becomes the neighborhood sledding hotspot, filled with laughter and the swoosh of sleds. Come summer, it's where kids burn off endless energy running up and down - a simple but effective natural playground.

Accessibility and Amenities

You'll discover plenty of parking available past the church, but keep in mind there's a bit of a walk to reach some areas of the park. The lot is well-maintained, which is always a plus when you're lugging coolers or sports equipment.

Magnolia Park serves the neighborhood with spaces for both active recreation and quiet relaxation, with features that appeal to visitors of all ages.
