Fun that Lasts All Winter Long

Apartments at Plymouth Woods offer easy access to fantastic attractions around Livonia, MI and we’ve compiled a list of ways to enjoy the winter season to the fullest. Best of all, you won’t have to break the bank to have a good time in your own neighborhood. 

Christmas Cheer

In December, Livonia comes alive with decorations and a sense of holiday spirit. The Light Up Livonia contest is a great way to enjoy the holiday season from the comfort and warmth of your car, with spectacular light displays set up all across our community. 

For the holiday season, Kirksey Recreation Center and Greenmead Historical Park are known to put on tree decorating competitions and viewing events that are sure to spark joy. You can also find a spectacular light show choreographed to an impressive musical number at the Northville Symphony of Lights. 

And last but certainly not least, Night of Lights at Greenmead offers an array of activities for several weeks. Residents can participate in arts and crafts, play games and activities, enjoy music and entertainment, buy gifts at the holiday shop, and so much more. 

Livonia Cultural Staples

All winter long, Livonia offers city-wide programs to keep residents active and engaged, and many of these activities are held indoors for the sake of comfort and convenience. 

Kirksey Recreation Center hosts events year-round, from New Year’s Eve parties to painting classes that teach you the Bob Ross method. And the Livonia Public Library invites guests to participate in holiday crafts, adult board game nights, concerts, holiday theater productions, and seasonal lectures. 

Check the City of Livonia’s website and the Livonia Chamber of Commerce’s website for even more ongoing and upcoming programs. 

Stay Active

No matter what time of year it is, we all need to get a daily dose of sunshine and exercise as often as we can. Cold weather can often result in us trapping ourselves at home to avoid snow, wind, and the hassle of bundling up. But the winter season offers a fantastic array of active opportunities, and you shouldn’t let the weather bog you down when you can be out enjoying your neighborhood. 

Whether you’ve been waiting all year to pull out your toboggan or you simply enjoy the wonderful, wintery sight of a hillside full of sledders, Livonia has plenty of sledding locations to choose from. Or, enjoy the casual atmosphere of Livonia Greenmead Outdoor Ice Rink where you can skate to your heart’s content. 

For some easy exercise, residents can take a short walk to the nearest nature preserve or walking trail in Livonia, where a relaxing hike is both convenient and beautiful, even in the dead of winter. Our safe, walkable community makes taking a trip to the store or getting outdoors for some fresh air a breeze. Disabled residents and residents aged 60 and older can utilize the year-round Livonia Community Transit program, designed to help community members get where they need to go for the price of $2 each way.
