👍👍 I like the upgrades made to the park. Something for everyone, like exercise equipment, play ground and fishing. I especially like walking the bridge. When I went it was peaceful. People often mention park, time,

    The park was nice and clean, secluded from the city with a wonderful view! The bathrooms were clean and functional and the everything was safe. I will visit again. Very family friendly park

    Well.....ahhhh, today was my 1st time going, and not was for 2nd annual African Cultural festival. After driving through a massive cloud of marijuana smoking, trap music, and consistent alcohol consumption...I was able to see and enjoy her true beauty of the park! The river, ponds, the trees were breath taking! The grass was so soft it felt like cotton and down feathers combined! The children playing, rolling down the hill, brought an endless smile to my face!

    This is a very beautiful park when you go early in the morning or at just the right time. Unfortunately, if you go later in the day or evening, the park has a very different and rowdy feel... similar to what Belle Isle used to be like. The overall experience really depends on timing and the reason for going.

    I had not been to this city park in decades.The city definitely made improvements from that time. There are basketball courts, softball, and baseball fields. Great views of the Detroit River from walking and seating areas near the water. Bridges over the inland ponds fed from the river. Children's play areas, swings, tables to sit and eat.

    I been going to this park most of my life. This s a nice little family park not much here to do but they did put aome new equipment out rebuild a few things. The police are always ridding through so it won't be no problems. Other than that itan okay park

    Clean and a lot of activities for the kids and parents there is a basketball court, baseball field, weights for lifting a nice view of the river swings, slides and a big hill oh and sheds and grills a nice amount of garbage can for liter. My kids love this park from my home it takes me 20 minutes but to me its worth it.
