In the heart of Southeast Michigan, Hazel Park combines small town, picturesque appeal and urban elements that make it all the more inviting to newcomers and residents alike. The Friendly City has a vibe all its own — tree-lined avenues, mom and pop shops, and access to the attractions and night life of Metro Detroit’s business district contribute to its comforting yet exciting community. Visitors come from all over to see live horse races at the Hazel Park Raceway, and the large presence of its local businesses support many of the city’s schools, athletics, and community events. New development is a well-established trend in Hazel Park, but it’s a commitment to its traditions and uniqueness that keep this innovating city grounded.
