Summer is here, and you do not need to go far to enjoy nature’s great outdoors! We encourage you to visit and enjoy our community gems: Johnston, Salter, and Danbury Parks.
Visiting parks can offer us both physical and mental health benefits. All three parks have picnic areas with barbecue grills and plenty of open spaces. These are great spots for families and friends to gather and make great memories.
Looking for physical activity? How about a walk, run, bike ride or even walking your dog around the one-half- mile loop track at Salter Park? Enjoy a game of cornhole? Is basketball more appealing? Salter and Johnston parks have courts for your enjoyment. If basketball is not for you, how about tennis or pickleball? Johnston Park has open courts available. Children also have plenty of space to learn, run, jump, and shout on our playscapes with swings, slides, spinners, and climbers.
Perhaps you get plenty of physical activity and you are looking to socialize or meet new people in your community, the park is a great place to start. All parks are equipped with benches in the sun or shade where you can enjoy nature. Last summer, Chess/ Checker tables were installed at Salter and Johnston Park. You can sit with a friend and enjoy a friendly game.
With the world being such a busy place, you might seek a nice quiet spot to sit and unplug? A place to just breathe in fresh air, relax with nature, and watch the sunset. We are sure you will find a spot right for you in one of our Harper Woods Parks. There are so many good reasons to visit parks, you only need one! To have Fun!
