The Chandler Park neighborhood gets busy every summer, with residents and visitors from around the area coming to have fun at the public Chandler Park. The Chandler Park Conservancy continues to push for more growth to give the community access to a one-of-a-kind facility with a golf course, tennis courts, skate park and education plaza. “Living here means having access to all that the park has to offer at your fingertips,” says Maya Rushing, a Realtor with Keller Williams Paint Creek. “Residents here are close to the constant activity and entertainment of the downtown area but can also keep occupied in their own neighborhood.” Future residents who want to live close to this active park might settle in an apartment or find a home in the east half of the neighborhood. The Chandler Park community strives to uplift each other and improve the greater Detroit area with nonprofits and community programs.
Chandler Park is a vibrant and growing neighborhood on Detroit's East Side.

Golfing, swimming and playing in Chandler Parak
Residents live steps away from a popular and fun-packed park. Covering almost half of the neighborhood, Chandler Park sees countless visitors each year. “The park gets busy every summer,” says Rachel Reaves, an associate Broker with RE/MAX Leading Edge who works in the area. Residents of all ages head to the Wayne County Family Aquatic Center to cool off in the pool. While golfers practice their swings at the Chandler Park Golf Course, other guests get their steps in on the walking trails or play a round or two on the pickleball courts. This community hub brings neighbors together for summer sports camps, fitness festivals and family movie nights. Residents who want a quieter place to hang out outside visit Corrigan Park. Kids can have fun on the playground equipment, and families can have lunch at the covered picnic tables.
