About the Location
A Natural Escape
Located in Sterling Heights, Michigan, Wanda Park spreads across 34.6 acres of green tranquility that feels worlds away from city life. There's plenty of open space where you'll often spot locals enjoying a casual soccer match or simply lounging on the grass.
The expansive grounds make this spot excellent for spreading out a blanket for picnics under the shade trees or taking a contemplative stroll through the greenery. There's something calming about this park that invites you to slow down and breathe a little deeper.
Veterans' Home
A notable feature of Wanda Park is the Veterans' Home within its boundaries. This thoughtful facility includes 30 resident rooms, a kitchen, dining area, and a spacious family room.
The home serves both Polish and American veterans, offering affordable services to those who've served. It adds a different dimension to the park, showing how the space functions for various community needs.
Things To Do
Water enthusiasts will appreciate the kayak launch points that provide easy access to the Clinton River flowing nearby. If you're bringing little ones along, the park features an impressively spacious children's play area with two separate sections - perfect whether you're in the mood for socializing or seeking a quieter play experience.
You'll discover portable restrooms maintained within the park - a practical touch that makes longer visits more comfortable.
For Sports Enthusiasts
The well-maintained soccer fields are a highlight for many visitors, offering plenty of space for both pickup games and organized matches. Just a heads-up - the fields aren't numbered, so you might want to establish clear meeting points if you're planning to meet friends there.
Bring Your Furry Friends
Dog lovers, rejoice! Wanda Park features two thoughtfully designed dog park areas - one dedicated to smaller pups and another for larger dogs or mixed sizes. These fenced spaces come equipped with modern water stations, tennis balls for impromptu games of fetch, water bowls, and some shaded picnic tables where you can relax while your four-legged friend socializes. You can purchase day passes or monthly passes if this becomes a regular stop in your routine.
Whether you're looking to kick a ball around, spend a lazy afternoon with a good book, or let your dog burn off some energy, Wanda Park has space for many different activities.
