If you're a football fan, you might be interested in checking out the practice facility for the Detroit Lions, which also serves as the team's headquarters. Allen Park has a population near 30,000 people, and a walkability score of 48, which means you should expect to use some transit to find your way around. Historically, Allen Park has a temperate climate which stays in the low 80s during the summer and dips to just below freezing in the winter. Expect everything: sunshine, rain, and snow will all find you in Allen Park.
