Trash everywhere and police constantly harassing local citizens. Asking people to lift up their shirts to see if theyre carrying concealed weapons.

Trash needs to be taken out more often and maybe figure out the excessive bee problem there. But is a clean park

It is for the kids...if you are over 25+ leave it alone it is the hang out for the younger generation. Cars everywhere. If you go it better be at 11am or earlier as to enjoy the peace in the park.

Great fun always. A park is what you make of it. Standard basketball. Baseball. Swimming amenities. And my wife and I love walking the river. Id say get your family set up section and make a day of it. Detroits hidden Gem.

Maheras Park is a great place to relax and chill with family or by yourself. The part I was on had loads of baseball fields and areas for sitting. The other side was water great for fishing or just relaxing by.

Wish our locals would throw trash in the bins provided. If not they will take it over like they did the island. Why not keep where you enjoy to go clean like you would your home/backyard. It wont kill you. Also, it was pretty till they removed the trees. Could have kept some.

My Family has lived on Navahoe for 63 years. Maheras-Gentry Park has always been where weve had fun. Well the swimming pool and recreation center are yet closed. Theres no playscape and the tennis courts need help. I enjoyed the park today. Theres new construction going on. So its getting better.

The park NEEDS security! It is SO BEAUTIFUL but the people ruin it. Ladies, do not go here alone it’s full of shady people. I’ve been here a bunch of times to see if it’s ever clear but no the parking lot is PACKED with people littering, drinking, doing drugs and BLASTING loud disrespectful music. They leave their trash everywhere.

I launched my kayak from this park to explore Belle Isle. Its in a beautiful spot along the river but the place is trashed. Broken glass and garbage were everywhere. The people hanging out there did not make us feel welcome or safe. I hope the city does more to restore this place, as it has a lot of potential. As for now, visit at your own risk.

Park is nice when it is clean and there are a few people here. Would be safer if police patrolled this area. Some people come and start playing loud music and throwing trash everywhere and mess it up for everyone. Belle Isle is more controlled and safer to visit.

Review №97

The layout and landscaping of the park is accommodating and appealing to the eye.Acessibility to safety shore fishing areas are welcomed.However, there are no throwing life saving flotational devices available.Having a park attendant at the site to faciltate the rules of the park is a plus factor.Also, an asset would be bathrooms with running water.Additional waste containers for waste would be a plus.
