Bicentennial Park

"Great playground and cool workout area for adults (13+, to be technical). Looks like bathrooms are being built. Nice little trails and multiple paved paths that lead to the baseball fields. Picnic tables, benches, and plenty of room to bring a chair. The playground area itself is great for toddlers up to maybe 11 or 12. 2 zip line runs, a merry-go-round that is enclosed and spins pretty fast compared to most these days, a bunch of cool interactive stations with bells, chimes, gears, and the multi sensory areas that are pretty common on modern jungle gyms. A few ADA areas add a new inclusive touch. The ground is turf, a long grass feeling type with a bouncey base that's great at cushioning your average fall. There's a second playground if the newer ones filled, which at peak times it will be. It's older but has a cool central hub style design with several slides. Next to that are a set of swings, but they're the nothing special standard kid and baby type. There are currently portajohns, or you can walk about 5 minutes over to the fields where there are brick and mortar open ones for most of the year (not sure on timeframe). The workout area is full of resistance equipment and for what's there you could make a full circuit out of them. It's actually really cool. From balance exercises to benches with foot holds for sit ups, etc, even hand pedal bike. Beyond the playgrounds but still in that general area is a large pavilion that can be rented. It's got a bunch of picnic tables and from what I'm told power hookups. I'm sure the city can give you the most accurate info if you call to reserve it. Lastly let's talk sun and shade. There are a handful of trees near the park as well as a line of trees that borders the parks western edge. The new playground area has lots of little areas of shade for the kids, but not much for the parents. If you come in the middle of summer in the afternoon it's gonna be toasty. Not far from the playground area you can find some more trees and set up chairs or bring canopies like so many people seem to have these days. Not far from there are stores and gas stations if you need to grab snacks and drinks. I believe the far bathroom by the fields has a fountain but I'm not positive."

"Amazing park! Love the various parts in the playscape that keep the adults engaged with the kids. Great, vibrant color scheme. Very very very clean park. We attended a birthday party in the picnic area. Glad there were Restrooms on site!"

"We go to Bicentennial almost every Saterday morning for the Livonia Parkrun. They are the best group we have ever met. My son loves to run and we found a second home with these great parkrunners / walkers. They have been super great with us and treat us like family since day 1."

"Bicentennial park is the real gem! It has nature trails, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, fitness areas, playgrounds and so much more. I can say for the last 20 years Livonia has always done their job to maintain this park in every way! It is always clean and the residents of Livonia truly appreciate it ❤️"
