This small, vibrant hilltop park on the Old West Side features a partial view of the city skyline, as well as a playground, sand volleyball court, and small soccer field. There are many warm, grassy areas to relax, observe nature, or enjoy a picnic. Lining the paths of the park are huge oak trees, including two “Champion Trees,” a black oak and a chinkapin oak, which are the largest trees of their species in the city; the chinkapin oak is the largest in the state of Michigan.
