    "I can see Canada from my house." You can see Canada from this park; it's right across the river on the south side. Park is large, clean, and filled with geese. Large trees make for good oxygen. 5/5 would take my dog to poop there again.

    It's always nice to go by the water and chill out. My only concern is the litter. They should hire my cleaning company Essential Brand Cleaning LLC to keep the parks clean. 😏

    The only thing that separates my home from this park is a chain link fence. It's definitely a hidden jewel of Detroit, Mi. Located on the east side of DETROIT, sitting on the Detroit River,, where the Detroit River runs into Lake St. CLAIR. THE park is currently under renovation, the riverwalk plays host to fisherman, cycles, and its an amazing and peaceful site to sit and watch the sailboats, with their colorful masts. Windsor Ontario, CA, is on the opposite shore which is about a mile across the water. It is a beautiful, well maintained (by the city) park. The park is avidly used daily, it has clean bathrooms, a playscape for kids, soccer facilities, picnic tables, and lots of room

    Signs leading to the park could be better. Not a lot of parking, over all nice park with a relaxing feel right on the Detroit river.

    Nice & quite but it was towards closing time so very few community persons were out

    The park didn't seem to have many facilities, but the proximity to the water was good. It was a great spot to fill sandbags though.

    The park is in great location. Once the renovations are complete it will be a really nice place to visit.

    One of the best quiet places to get outside and relax in the city. Right off of the river and the views are wonderful. Check it out when you get the chance.

    I was at the park to do some work, so it was very muddy where I was at. But I can't wait to come back with the family to explore, enjoy, and give a proper review. It's a very quiet hidden park with a fantastic view

    Very pretty park just accross from the historical district in Detroit. I came on a sunny day, the reflection of the sun off of the Renaissance Center is beautiful and indescribable. The park is also just off of a great river walk that has a view of the ambassador bridge and Windsor, Canada accross the Detroit river

    It's a beautiful view of the river, but the park would be better if a few more trash and recycling cans were there to help our community keep it clean. A decent park for the kids.

    Had our family/friend picnic July 4th weekend and it was beautiful!! The park has public restrooms, playground, parking, but only one picnic shed. Even though we brought tents, so it was ok! Beautiful park overall and by the water!!

    Great Park, lovely view of the water. We use to call it Lakewood Park about 30 Years ago. The park looks beautiful and stronger than ever. Great place to visit after work with a few Adult Beverages. U know what I mean. Have fun

    Great view and nice old trees. Some of the paths need upgrading and part of seawall is caved in, but it is great urban park with potential
