About Garbutt Park

Garbutt Park is a park in Downtown Ferndale, MI, known for its playground, picnic spaces and sand volleyball court. At 200 Gardendale St, it has slides, swings and other play equipment, along with a “traffic garden.” Families mention children enjoying the playground and treating the volleyball court like a large sandbox. Another recurring point of interest is its setting off 8 Mile, with one visitor noting that the park feels removed from the road.

The park opens daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., keeping the same hours through the weekend. Picnic tables and a barbecue grill support meals outdoors, and public restrooms are available. Children and dogs are welcome, and the park is suitable for kids’ birthday gatherings. For arrival, there is on-site parking as well as free street parking.

Paid street parking is available, and the location has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and wheelchair-accessible parking. A visitor also reports cash and charge payment options.
