Head Downriver this summer for outdoor fun at these 5 popular parks. Make a splash, watch boats on the water, and take in the great outdoors.

There’s lots to do at Heritage Park! Cool off at Lamarand Splash Field, visit the animals at the Petting Farm, stroll through the Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, fish at the pond and go for a stroll. Pack a lunch and prepare to spend the day at Heritage Park.

Pick up treats from Sugarr Craft Donuts + Coffee and head to Bishop Park to take in the Detroit River front. There’s a playground for kids and a walking path.
