Greenmead Historical Park

From a historic farm, church, greenhouse, and schoolhouse, Greenmead Historical Park gives you a peek into life on an 1820’s homestead. This 95-acre property was originally owned by Michigan pioneer Joshua Simmons; over 150 years later, in 1976, it was purchased by the City of Livonia in order to preserve it for visitors like you. You can talk about this site with other history buffs on Facebook.

Laurel Park Place

Not every day trip has to be spent outdoors. Why not spend it shopping? Laurel Park Place has all the major brands for summer, including Sunglass Hut, Bath & Body Works, Men’s Warehouse, and more. Then, once you’ve shopped up an appetite, you can recharge with a bite at Panera Bread, Ah-Ha! Noodles, or Bar Louie. Connect with them to stay on alert for new deals.

Rotary Park

On the other hand, if you’re looking for more of a traditional park, Rotary Park offers a great outdoor space for a family picnic. You can relax in the shade, nibble on your sandwiches, sip on your iced tea, and then stroll on the half-mile walking path (2,640 feet) as you digest your food. If you’re looking to organize a game, it also has volleyball courts, tennis courts, and more. Look for some Livonia updates on Twitter!
