Confirmed from Hines Park of Westland's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Sprawling park featuring walking trails, picnic areas, playgrounds, picnic tables and fishing spots by a river.
What runners say about Hines Park of Westland
The Wayne County Lightfest is a popular annual holiday drive-through event in Hines Park, Westland, Michigan 🇺🇸. It features 5 miles of lights and nearly 50 animated displays with over 100,000 lights. Usually starts from November 20th to Christmas Eve, December 24th.
Hines has always been one of my favorites. Nice for jogs, biking on Saturday mornings, picnics, and the light show in the winter is pretty nifty.
Super peaceful. I wish there were more shade coverings… great place to read under a tree until u nap
