One of the busiest parks in town is definitely Cal Zorn. Wide open field space calls for soccer, lacrosse, or a game of tag in between cooling off at the Splash Pad.

It has a little bit of everything!

Douglas W. Bird Memorial Park

400 N. Maumee Street

Commonly referred to "Bird Park", this is a multi-use location. A playground, swings, and picnic tables make the north end of the park a great destination all on its own. Don't overlook Evans Creek Trail just beyond the swings! Atop the hill sits The Tecumseh Center for the Arts. Be sure to walk the Bird Park Trail on the south side of the park too. Trail head kiosks mark the start of the short yet enjoyable walking routes. This is a reality due to our partnership with the Kiwanis Club of Tecumseh.

Features: 20 acres; playground; benches; picnic tables; grills; hiking trails; stream; Little Free Library; street parking

Evans Park is a great spot to cast your bobber in the water in hopes of a bite. Launch your canoe or kayak here as well to float down the River Raisin.
