Touring area parks for the summer of 2007

|

As I've yet to return to work in the "real" world, it appears that I'll be spending the summer at home with our two boys, ages 7 and 4. Instead of having them in some type of summer camp, the three of us will be figuring out how to fill the hours that they had been spending in school.

We'll be balancing a bit of reading and writing with a lot of fun by visiting a bunch of area parks and creating some informal reviews of them. The boys are most interested in things like slides and swings, while I'll be on the look out for shade, restrooms, and parking.

Our primary focus is going to be in the city of Sterling Heights, but we're also going to venture into places like Troy, Utica, Shelby and Macomb Townships, and Rochester Hills. We'll probably also visit some of the area MetroParks, like Stoney Creek, Metro Beach, and Kensington.

After we visit, we'll review what we experience and I'll be putting this information here on the Blog in the 'Park Reviews' category.

Hopefully our experiences will save you some time when looking for someplace to go to spend an hour or two having fun at one of the area's many public parks.
