The city operates over 150 facilities, including a multi-purpose civic center, four neighborhood libraries, a municipal golf course, two ice arenas, two artificial ice rinks, its own Dearborn Historical Museum complex, 52 baseball and softball fields, 11 soccer fields, eight outdoor swimming pools, and 29 tennis courts (23 lighted).

Just look at the fitness center at the brand-new Ford Community and Performing Arts building. In addition to exercise machines and classes, it offers a rock climbing wall and two swimming pools. One of the pools has a graded entry, like a beach, for full accessibility for people of all abilities.

Innovation always has been a Dearborn trademark. The city achieved international acclaim when it purchased a 88-unit retirement complex in Clearwater, Florida, to complement five senior citizen apartment buildings in Dearborn. Camp Dearborn, a 626-acre "Citizens' country club" near Milford, is a one-of-a-kind facility offering family camping, six lakes, a half-mile long beach, and spacious picnic areas. A new 27- hole golf course was completed in 1997. Dearborn was the first city in Wayne County to implement a recycling program.

Dearborn also boasts an outstanding elementary and secondary education system. Its 29 schools, including three public high schools, have an enrollment of over 16,320. Dearborn Public Schools offer an extensive preschool child care program as well as advanced education opportunities at Henry Ford Community College.

Cultural opportunities are an important part of the Dearborn heritage. The Dearborn Community Arts Council serves as the umbrella for 40 different performing art groups and operates the Padzieski Art Gallery at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center. Citizens actively support 13 service clubs and more than 300 fraternal, ethnic, veteran, religious, and social organizations.

You can earn a two- or four-year college degree, receive technical training or just take classes for personal enrichment, all without ever leaving the Dearborn city limits.

You also won’t need to leave the city to find full-service health care. Your options include a health care system and hospital with 50 years experience serving Dearborn, and a campus of one of the nation’s leading health care providers, with physician specialists and a 24-hour emergency room.
