Known as Lake Front Park, the Saint Clair Shores facility is open only to Grosse Pointe Woods residents, and includes four pools, a bathhouse, a 240-slip marina, tennis courts, volleyball courts, and facilities for bocce ball, croquet, and shuffleboard.

The parks within the city limits include Ghesquiere Park, Sweeney Park, Chene-Trombley Memorial Park, and Jules DePorre Park.
Grosse Pointe Woods is the newest of the Grosse Pointe communities. When it was first incorporated in 1927, it was as the Village of Lochmoor. In 1939, its name was changed to the Village of Grosse Pointe Woods and, on December 11, 1950, it became the City of Grosse Pointe Woods, a Home Rule City, which is its official name.
As Grosse Pointe Woods is the focus of this guide, appropriate topics include the city itself, and any individuals, businesses, industries, schools, places of worship, organizations, attractions, events, and sports and recreational opportunities.
