Just like any good thing, it’s hard to keep it a secret, so we’d like to share a little bit about Saline, Michigan with you. If you haven’t ever been, maybe it’s time for a road trip.

Movies In The Park
Nothing says summer like a good movie in the park. Bring a blanket and head to Mill Pond Park where you can enjoy food, drinks, music, and of course an inflatable obstacle course and bouncer, before settling down for a good flick. Make sure you keep an eye out for next summer’s schedule.
Nothing Beats Nature
Saline has 11 developed parks, making it the ideal place for those that want to be close to a big city (Saline is only an hour away from Detroit), but still enjoy the great outdoors. From playgrounds and baseball diamonds to boat launch ramps, bike trails and picnic areas, Saline’s 190+ acres of open air parks have everything the nature-lover could want.
For The Retail-Addicted
If you’re not the outdoors type and prefer to spend your time with man-made beauty, Saline has plenty of upscale shops to feed your soul. From thrift stores to gift stores, you’re bound to find a shop or two you’ll love.
Saline’s Early Days
In its early days, Saline was at the heart of the shipping route connecting Detroit and Chicago. Today, the residents of Saline are still celebrating their heritage as a place where agriculture and industry come together. When you visit, be sure to check out the “Seats of our Heritage”, which is a permanent public art piece that includes seats from farming equipment, a wagon wheel, and other symbolic artifacts.
We hope you’ve been inspired to visit Saline and see what all of the buzz is about. Thinking about moving? We won’t try to persuade you – but we will say that Saline is known for its clean, safe neighborhoods, great schools, and above average housing values and household incomes. Experience Saline, yourself – you’ll find lots to do with some of the friendliest people around!
