Halmich Park

If Warren has a proper park — the kind worth a dedicated trip rather than a walk around the block — it’s Halmich. Roughly eighty green acres off 13 Mile, it packs in a surprising amount: a central lake with its resident ducks and geese, a disc golf course that draws regulars, ball fields and tennis and basketball courts, wide walking paths, and shaded pavilions with self-serve grills for when you commit to the cookout. Summer brings a splash pad for the kids; winter brings sledding and skating. It’s clean, well-kept, genuinely spacious, and free — the rare Warren green space that feels like a destination instead of a lot. Pro tip: Kuhnhenn’s brewery is just down the road, so a disc-golf-then-pint afternoon basically plans itself. On our list as Warren’s outdoor anchor.
