Parks
Southfield parks are open year-round for residents to enjoy.
Pull on your boots, put on a warm coat and see your favorite
parks in a whole new way. Parks are open from dawn to dusk
and there are no park entrance fees. Park Rules are posted at
each park entrance.
Snow is removed from the paved walking paths at Civic Center
and Freeway parks as weather allows. Trails at Inglenook, Bedford
Woods and Bauervic Woods parks along Berberian Woods and
Carpenter Lake Nature Preserves are not plowed. Paths and trails
can be slick so wear boots and bring a hiking pole or a walking
stick if you have one.

     Mary Thompson Farm
     Community Gardens

Have you ever been to the Mary Thompson Farm on
Evergreen Road between 10 Mile and I-696? Did you know
that there are gardens located there where you can grow and
harvest your own crops? This City gem has approximately 70 plots
which can be reserved for a growing season (April-October).
If you like to garden but don’t have the space to do so in your current residence we
invite you to join our Community Garden program. Our gardens cultivate a real sense of
community in a safe and socially distant environment. Returning gardeners can reserve
their spot for the 2022 season through March 7. After that date, available plots can be
reserved by Southfield residents on a first come, first served basis for $70/plot
(non-resident pay $85/plot).
Please call Senior Services for more details about the Mary Thompson Community
Gardens.
