Parks And Recreation Finder

The City of Southfield is excited to offer the new Parks and Recreation Finder to our citizens. The Parks and Recreation Finder application helps residents locate a park and obtain information about recreation activities in the community. This application can be used by residents and visitors alike to locate a park or recreation area near them, or one that offers the activity they are interested in.

Parks & Recreation Finder


QuickTime Virtual Reality (VR) Southfield Parks can now be easily viewed in QuickTime Virtual Reality (VR). Using QuickTime VR, you can view a site as if you were standing there. It's easy to use, click on the park name. A Quicktime VR movie will load. Move your mouse over the movie to click and drag around the QuickTime VR movie and you will get a 360 degree view of the facility or you can just let it go around by itself.
