Busse Park

Outdoor Recreation

Tucked into a residential pocket of Warren, Michigan, Busse Park spreads across 10 acres of green space, nestled among the single-family homes that line Frazho Road.

With its open layout, this neighborhood location offers plenty of room to stretch your legs, toss a frisbee, or simply find a quiet spot to unwind. It's an accessible, no-frills green space used by everyone from toddlers to grandparents - a popular spot in Warren's suburban landscape.

Athletic Facilities

If you're into pickleball (and who isn't these days?), you're in luck. The park features six dedicated pickleball courts with permanent lines and nets on concrete surfaces. They're free to use and often buzzing with friendly competition, but you'll need to wrap up your games before dark since there's no lighting.

Beyond pickleball, the park houses a rugby pitch and a generous open field that's meant for everything from casual soccer games to flying kites on breezy Michigan afternoons.

Playground

Kids between 5-10 will find themselves right at home on the park's decent-sized playground. The ladder bridge offers a fun challenge leading to a bigger slide that might give the littlest adventurers pause.

For the younger set, there's a sweet mommy and me swing where parents and toddlers can sway together. While the play area could use more shade trees, at least the equipment designers had the good sense to skip metal slides that turn into hot lava in the summer sun.

Amenities

Looking to get your steps in? A well-maintained walking path loops around the park, offering a pleasant route for morning joggers or afternoon strollers. Just be aware it might get a bit soggy after heavy rains.

When it's time for a snack break, you can find picnic tables scattered throughout, with some tucked under a pavilion for those seeking refuge from sun or drizzle - meant for family gatherings or a peaceful solo lunch.

The park does have restrooms, however they're occasionally locked, so plan accordingly. And if your four-legged friend needs exercise too, you're in luck - the expansive fields and walking trails make Busse Park an excellent spot for dog walking.

Nature and Atmosphere

One of the park's best features is simply its clean, peaceful atmosphere. It's the kind of place where the background noise of the city seems to fade away, replaced by rustling leaves and distant laughter.

The well-maintained grounds and natural setting create a little oasis for those needing a quick nature fix without leaving the city. Whether you're watching kids race around the playground or just seeking a tranquil bench to read a book, Busse Park offers a simple, refreshing outdoor experience typical of neighborhood parks.
