I don't even know why you insist on taking a tangent to this length. Just because you don't know where these spots are does not mean they do not exist. You can also enter the Lower Huron Parks from a variety of places and one is near downtown New Boston. Macomb County has a countywide paratransit service that connects the urban area. Route 635 will get you very close to Metropolitan Beach.
This thread is about Downtowns and them pulling kids. Some, like Birmingham have built an environment that pulls lots of teens, others like Royal Oak have not. This does not mean no teens ever make it to Royal Oak, Ferndale, or Dearborn, only that they are not overwhelming.
