besides Belle Isle?? I am on my reunion planning committee and I am trying to locate other family friendly parks (I.E. not too close to the water, traffic, etc.) for our picnic. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. | ||

North Rosedale Park has a nice park. It's located on the corner of Glastonbury and Scarsdale. Google North Rosedale Park for the website and address. | ||

How many people? What part of town would be most convenient? | ||

Ummm...possibly about 100 and it doesn't matter as long as it's in Detroit (west side preferably). M...thanks so much! (Message edited by Jdub1106 on March 31, 2008) | ||

Preferably the west side...possiby about 100-125 ppl, but we will need to have the ability to use a grill...Vizion thanks, I checked into, but I am unable to locate a picture which is important because I will need to email the link to the committee to determine whether or not we are willing to forego Belle Isle and it's ridiculous rates... | ||

The parks I would suggest are Rouge and Palmer, only because I have had nice picnics at each, they have plenty of space and there should be adequate parking. I'm pretty sure people grill in both places. No idea about costs. | ||

Mwilbert...thanks, I will suggest those locations as well. Vizion, I was actually trying to locate a picture, I am aware of the location as I grew up there...I was just trying to provide a visual to other committee members, but thanks a bunch! ;-) Does anyone know the name of the park in the Jefferson/Dickerson area (I know I said west side preferably) that is off the water...many people go there to watch the fireworks... | ||

^ You can do a street view to see how it looks from another angle. They have updated the park over the past few years. | ||

How about Clark Park? It is at Clark and Vernor Streets in southwest Detroit. Another large southwest side park is Patton Park. A large park on the northwest side is Eliza Howell, but I don't think it is well-kept. Rouge Park is a popular location for family reunions. | ||

Waterworks Park on Jefferson? | ||

I believe waterworks park is closed to the public. the two parks in the berry subdivision are lovely, but have water access which you mentioned was not a plus. | ||

Thanks all...I really appreciate your input. Andy, pardon my ignorance, but where is the Berry sub?? | ||
