Whenever I visit Detroit, I always like to stop by the Cullen Plaza on the Detroit Riverwalk. Over the years, this place has really been spruced up. There is now a nice grassy lounge area and a larger than life sandbox to compliment the bronze map of the original Detroit area, the Cullen Family Carousel, and the Riverwalk Cafe. This is probably the best location for photographing the GM Renaissance Center as you get that iconic night shot with the Detroit River to the left of the iconic building. Free parking for 2 hours is available, but parking may be difficult during the popular hours of the nights and weekends.

Favorite place for walking

We love it here! My son refers to it as the castle weve been goin here since the beginnin of its time

Good job site!

Free parking. Beautiful space. I love the Riverfront Conservancy and all it does for Detroit.

Simply beautiful!

Riverwalk is excellent family and pet friend place. Free safe parking good food excellent view of Detroit River front. Clean restrooms

I enjoyed each time I visited the river.

Great atmosphere. Lots of people. All having a great time.

I had a great time lying out by the water with my cousin in the lounge chairs provided!

Great place to visit

One of the major nodes along the Detroit RiverWalk. The pluses are the bike shop, carousel, seating opportunities, free parking, drinking fountains, and beautiful landscaping. The cafe is okay. The public bathrooms get a lot of use and it shows.

Its a great place to relax.

A real Gem in Detroit. Great view of the Rennansaince center and Windsor, Ontario Canada.

Beautiful place

Beautiful! Clean!

Friendly and family fun atmosphere, full of families just spending time together in the sun watching the Detroit princess sail by on the blue water. Playgrounds, ice cream, attractions and a place to just lounge in the shade, a nice stop to anyone walking the river front.

Great place to meet with friends and have a snack and ice cream. Enough seating near the river. Clean! Bike shop nearby.

Great family place

Every part of Detroits Riverwalk is wonderful.

Just a great view

Its an excellent place to spend the day. People watching is a great thing to do while at Rivard Plaza.

Great Place to park and enjoy the Detroit river walk. Safe and Free Parking!

Very clean and safe. Nice playground and sand pit for kids. Also this is a short walk to spray fountains for kids to cool down in, they are in front of the Rencen. Beautiful Carousel only $1.00 per ride. Didnt charge the parent to ride with the child. :)Bike rentals are also available. Convenient outdoor restaurant that serves hotdogs, burgers, fries, icecream and other quick eats.Lounging chairs are set up along the riverfront to relax in. Good fun day at little or no cost :)We went on a Tuesday parking was free and right next to the park.

Very nice place

Convenient and (apparently) safe place to walk the water front.

Something genuinely fun to do in Detroits downtown. Parking is expensive. Not far from Belle Isle. There is a DNR State Park nature path right on the riverwalk.

Love strolling and biking this, especially on a summer morning.

Nice place to stop on the Riverwalk.
