“An all class alumni cookout was held there and the grounds and area was in great condition. The park is in line to be upgraded and it is much deserved for the city of Inkster.”
A children’s play area and a court mentioned by a reviewer give Lemoyne Park its strongest reasons for taking fourth place. Located at 29618 Pine St in Inkster, MI, the park also drew praise from one visitor for its landscaping. Its 3.5-star Google rating across 38 reviews reflects mixed feedback: another visitor appreciated the court when maintained but reported torn-down nets and an aging, underwhelming playground. Those maintenance concerns temper the appeal of its play space and landscaping.
