Dad Butler Playground

Locals know Dad Butler Playground as one of those spots that actually delivers for the whole crew, not just the little kids. The open grass field gets used hard — t-ball, pickup games, whatever — and there’s enough room that nobody’s stepping on each other. Adults aren’t just sitting on the sidelines either, since the exercise equipment gives them something to do while the 2-to-14 crowd runs wild. Throw in a BBQ area and restrooms, and you’ve got a solid setup for a full-day family cookout or a birthday celebration without having to pack everything in from home. It’s a real neighborhood park in the best sense — Detroit families have been claiming their spot here on weekends for good reason.
