Edward N. Hines Park

Hines Park is a linear park in western Wayne County, Michigan, following the course of the Middle River Rouge. Hines Park serves as a flood control mechanism for the Middle Rouge, which experiences frequent floods due to its heavily urbanized drainage basin. Hines Park consists of 25 recreation areas linked by Edward N. Hines Drive, a 17.5-mile (28.2 km) scenic drive. Hines Park is named after Edward N. Hines, a member of the Wayne County Road Commission who advocated for the park's creation. The park was initially known as the Middle Rouge Parkway, and it incorporates multiple structures donated by Henry Ford from his village industries project. Hines Park begins at 7 Mile Road in Northville and runs downstream to Ford Road in Dearborn, connecting to multiple regional recreation facilities and trails, including the I-275 Metro Trail and Rouge Park.
