👍👍 One of my favorite places in the entire State of Michigan. There are so many things to do with the kids too. Nature Center, fishing, boating, aquarium and more! If it’s a nice day and you want to tap into nature. This is the place to go.

Southwest Greenway
Park
👍👍 Detroit's southwest Greenway is just about one mile long, connecting the Train Station to Ralph Wilson Park on Jefferson at the waterfront. The pavement is smooth, and there are street crossings at Bagley and Jefferson. The path is very smooth concrete with a small grade if you want to Rollerblade...

Riverfront Fit Park
Park
👍👍 This is a bike/walking path that goes to Eastern Market and beyond, ending at Warren Ave. There is lots of Urban Art along the path that adds to the already beautiful landscaping. They are also in the process of building a small stage for what I'm guessing to be for performances of some kind but I'm...

Detroit Riverwalk - Uniroyal Extension
Park
👍 Finally! The grand opening of this section of the Detroit Riverfront was fantastic! This section will connect the downtown to Belle Isle in a most beautiful and pedestrian way. As the Royale Promenade is finished with more landscaping and features it will spur development and good health! I thin...

Riverside Dog Park
Park
👍👍 Huge dog park with a walking path near the river. Only place we take our dogs! Generally good dog owners there and if there are less folks there then at least it’s big enough for the dogs to run around and sniff. Main drawback is lack of water at times. The machine breaks quite often. Prepare to br...

👍👍 Amazing what people can do in a community that has passion. This is a fine result of the work that that community development corporation NORTHWEST GOLDBERG CARES had started. Pocket parks fashioned out of former abandoned city lots! Ample seating, a Little Reading Exchange Library, and elevated bir...
