Wow! I fail to find the appropriate words to describe the beautiful riverside walk , and Hart Plaza premises. I consider this area of Detroit downtown the best place for a totally relaxed evening to be spent enjoying the hue of the setting sun and Blue waters....The whole area is well kept, clean and disciplined...I loved this place.for its pristine beauty.

I mean, we got to skateboard in downtown Detroit so that was pretty sweet. Lots of cool stuff to see. We walked around for hours and never ran out of things to look at.

A great place to start your river walk and get a sight across the river to Canada

Great place to walk along the riverfront with great views of Canada! You can watch boats pass by and read a book, there is no shortage of places to sit. The surface is very clean and the landscape is kept up. Too bad the fountain does not run :( also the parking is all underground and really convenient place to park your car at the center of the city. But if you are reading this and you have never been here, then you need to go see for yourself already!

Nice night for a walk. Free parking on the street after 10pm.

Its seen better days. The key point is access to the riverfront and the art.

I was downtown on Wednesday and had to walk to my destination and passed by Hart Plaza. This was once a great destination for people who worked downtown. Not anymore. Whats up with the bathrooms? None were open. This place was once a gem in Detroits skyline now its just an old relic in need of some serious repair. The once magnificent fountain has no water coming out guess its turned off. Its still a great view of downtown and the Canadian skyline.

Such a lovely place. Nice view. Will recommend

So beautiful! Rich with art and history, breathtaking views of Detroit as well as Windsor!

Cool place to visit when in Detroit. Nightlife is great too!

If you ever come to the city of Detroit you must come to the river walk in the heart plaza it is worth the trip

The place is beautiful, however, there are a lot of homeless people walking around. Their tents and blankets are set up in the underground art gallery. Just keep your distance and youll be fine, I guess.

Sad to say, this place really has potential. I think the layout is great and have real nice view of the city and the river but it seems like its not maintained at all. The fountain is not working and its dirty. In some parts its smells. I dont mean to offend anyone but its the truth or at least at the time I went there, which was last week.

An excellent spot for photography. So many great views. Also some great places for good eats.

The scene is Panaramic. Always relaxing and enjoyable

Always a fun place to visit in downtown detroit enjoy the ppl schedule events food etc or walk around jog bring kids relax

Being right next to the Detroit River is serene.

Beautiful outdoor venue. Great vendors for food and drink. Outdoor concerts and events take place here. Kid friendly if the event and the kid is good for crowds.

I just love walking by heart plaza and campus marsh

Hart Plaza is a beautiful place overlooking Canada. I haven’t been to a concert here but I can imagine it’s amazing. Just walking through here is great.

My favorite event ever DEMF/MOVEMENT happens here. One of my favorite places in the city of Detroit. So many memories.

Absolutely dead just like the downtown. Shouldve looked to Chicago Riverwalk to be inspired

It was a beautiful day in the city. I would love too see Detroit grow even more. Such rich history surrounds some of the photographs that I was able too capture.

Good place to chill. River Walk is the best.

I love this place I just wish they would up keep it better. Theres a lot of history within hart plaza and theyre not taking care of it. I use to be a part of a summer program Festival for the performing Arts in the 80s and during the African American festival wed perform all different kinds of arts and talent in the Big Circle area. Back then all events every weekend were free. They should bring the free festivals back! It was fun and lively then

End of Detroit downtown. Great place to sit and enjoy evening by the Detroit river. You can easily see Canada from here as well as enjoy the urbarn chaos of Detroit

Really nice walk and pretty scenery.

Hart Plaza is a great place to experience a show or festival. The river on one side and city on the other. Nice a spread out with interesting different nooks.

I went in the winter so there wasnt really homeless people there but that explains the clothes aro6the broken fountain. I like the stargate though. I walked and read the path. It has great potential. I hope the city pays attention and repairs it. I think they are working their way there. Downtown is definitely coming around.

As always the city was beautiful. I chose to get my professional photos done there for #familieslivesmattertoo, the law office of jeff perlman, and advanta law. No better place then Hart Plaza.

Nice place to take a long walk near the water and in front to another country. Sunday is best,less people than a weekly day.

A big open plaza between the GM Renaissance Center and the convention center (Cobo). There are several interesting structures and monuments within this plaza that is located by the Detroit Riverwalk. When I visited, the fountain at the center of the plaza (Horace E. Dodge Fountain) looks like it has been out of commission for quite a while. Otherwise, the only reason to visit this plaza is to get a good shot at the GM Renaissance Center as the background for some of the structures found in this plaza.

Visited during Independence Day Fords fireworks. Good place to spend during evenings

Watching the people enjoy walking along the Riverfront and watching the boaters

Just beautiful. The plaza is one of the many gems of the City of Detroit. Clean with access to the Riverwalk.

This place is a shell of its former self. The homeless have taken over and the lower level wreaks of urine. They barely hold any events here anymore.

I give it five because of the up grades

I went in the morning. There was nobody there. It was a bit run down, but wow!!! Amazing public art dedicated to the labor movement, Dodge Fountain by Isamu Noguchi and The International Memorial to the Underground Railroad sculpted by Ed Dwight

I went here for the June 19th celebration for the day that the slaves were freed. I also go here every year for the fireworks. I love it here. Met my wife here 4 years ago. We actually banged in the mens restroom first night we met. I shouldve left her right after that. Now Im stuck with this beached whale

Really beautiful. Have not been to Downtown Detroit and 7 or 8 years. 100% completely shocked but how nice everything is along the Riverwalk. Four stars because they had barricade up around Hart Plaza the entire day could still see most monuments so well worth the walk

Had not been there in many years,brought back fond memories of festival days on nice summer days& evenings.My daughter was having photo shoot and pics came out beautiful

Great vibes all day. Epic art works all over. Great for night time photogs.

Once was a nice place now its falling apart and smells like urine

Had alot of great memories here since the early days

This place is very cool, despite all the homeless people. Its a very nice feature to the wondrous Detroit.

Visited here for Movement Electronic Music Festival and loved it. Beautiful sculptures and very clean and well maintained. There are washrooms under ground as well as green space with trees.

Its a beautiful place to use as a thinking place and its one of the perfect places to overlook the water

Nice place to sit and relax with the little ones

What a great time out, The Detroit Jazz Festival was so nice and entertaining. The music was FANTASTIC, FOOD CHOICES, ACCOMODATIONS, A FRIENDLY, SEEING PAST FRIENDS AND FAMILY cant wait until next year. This is what I am talking about, 4 days of all of this was so nice to say this is my city. Now the after music events, dinner dining and parties Oh my God, doing the same thing.

Nice place with good scenic views in the downtown of Detroit.

Hart Plaza was Lovely!! So Peaceful, everyone seemed relaxed. The water was amazing!

It was deserted and did not impress. The concrete is broken and in disrepair. Maybe it is great in the summer? Not sure. The famous sculptures are cool.

It was peaceful, very exciting, people Loved it, I loved it, great event

Music concerts, Great Dining Area, A fountain to cool yourself and lake side to relax. A great place to hang out. Motor city towers are excellent.

Havent found a reason to visit. I also feel bad for all the people that sleep there in the cold at night in tents

Great space for MOVEMENT & other fun things, close to different restaurants, hotels, and casinos.

What an experience!!The walk,the sculptures,the history...make sure to visit while in Detroit!!

Who goes to Detroit to visit idk but this was such a nice little area by the water to just sit and think

I believe the monument in the middle of the plaza is a fountain. However, we did not see the water running, so I may be speculating.It was 40F and the gelid breeze coming from the Detroit river made the ambience very enjoyable but cold. The plaza has a bunch of monuments and I saw children walking up and down as well us families taking pictures around.I believe that on a summer day it is a blast to spend the afternoon walking around there.

My family and I have made it a tradition to watch the fireworks from Hart plaza absolutely love all the security and police another year with nothing but fun and fireworks

I enjoyed walking around here. I parked at a garage near Renaissance building (GM building). I went by myself and felt safe

Heart Plaza is always Awesome!! I was there 3 weeks ago early in the morning to support fellow walkers for the prevention of suicide. The organizers did a great job with supporting friends & families & keeping the atmosphere upbeat! Hart Plaza was a perfect location for the Out of the Dark event.

What a great family affair food is awesome the prices the vendors are fun dancing was a blast

Hart Plaza for Jazz Fest 2019! Enjoyed our time at the Jazz Fest this year. Spent time at HP watching performances, getting food, and hanging out. Safe, clean, friendly atmosphere with plenty of food and drink vendors. The downside being not enough seating for people looking to buy food from one of the food trucks and actually sit somewhere to eat it. Ive been coming to Hart plaza for many years and would not hesitate to come down as a family during the day or in the evening with adults. Lots of parking close by and large police presence.

Beautiful place to take some pictures!

Very interesting place. Would be a great setting for a planet of the apes movie.

Such a surreal place to have a music festival from memorial day weekend… But in all honesty I absolutely love this entire surrounding

This is a pretty good place to check out a new movies. They always have up-to-date movies. Compared to other locations in the MJR chain, this one Does not have stadium-style seats. But the overall experience is good.

Always a pleasure. ;) Happy Demfmas, everyone! Until next year!!

Great spot to spend some time to walk along the Riverwalk and take in the beautiful scenery and architecture of the multitude of sculptures.

Huge rats and smells like legit feces. Used to be a gem but its been neglected due to covid (I hope... )

The fireworks show was magnificent as usual.

Worth checking out! Lots of different monuments and plaques with historical facts about the city. Really good views of downtown and Windsor. Definitely a must stop if youre in Detroit. None of the fountains were running cause it was winter but still worth visiting. I found 20 buck on the ground too which didnt hurt.

Beautiful Day for a walk on the Riverfront!

I have to give this Plaza 3 stars. Im shocked at all the 5 star reviews. This plaza needs maintenance. First of all, the sign is ugly and the clock is wrong half the year. The pavers are cracked and coming up. Kudos to the city for at least repairing the part near the stairs. The fountain hasnt worked in years. Many of the signs are cracked. There are a lot of homeless people gathered here especially where the ruins of the amphitheater are located. When festivals arent being held here, its mostly used by homeless people to sell drugs, office workers to access the river walk, and tourists to pop a wheelie on their bird scooters. They should really fill in the tunnels too. It does have a great view and so much potential. Id love to see a renovated Hart Plaza for Detroit.

Cool little area to walk around with some nice art pieces.

Very spacious and with a gorgeous view of the Detroit River (strait).

Beautiful at night, I went for the jazz festival. Great for walks too.

Motor city pride was amazing as always!! $5 entrance fee and made tons of friends!!

Always awesome.....Love my city!!

It is a very clean and peaceful place in the middle of downtown Detroit to just sit and watch the boats on the river and relax. I like to take my carry out there and eat my lunch its a wonderful break from the crazyness of the work day. It also hosts events like the Jazz fest or the Ho-down every year and millions come to Hart Plaza

Great Riverside Plaza with Downtown at your feet!

Fun place to visit in Detroit during the day time. Because you can walk from hart plaza to Renaissance along the boardwalk. It is heavily patrolled and safe. At night time it dwoends. Summer time they have Detroit electronic music festival here.currently under construction tho. PS. Dont climb the monument and then not be able to get down. (Refer to picture).

Love Hart Plaza and Downtown

11yrs of DEMF and Movement with daughter and friends. Love you Detroit!!

A great night life awesome atmosphere and a safe place to visit while in the D

Right in the heart of Detroit watch the Freighters pass up and down the Detroit River a beautiful sight

The city of Detroit needs to make this plaza more accommodating for visitors. The restrooms were locked and I had to pee.

Interesting sculptures. Across from Windsor Canada.

Riverfront Views & Best place to hang out also see the Fireworks in Detroit Downtown...!!

Great place to enjoy our city. Especially great to see a show, movement for example.

Hey everyone this was down at Hart Plaza in Detroit and I went there on a Saturday and had a wonderful time staying distance from other I really had a nice time there.

Couldnt find handicapped parking

I was just there for a little adventure with my friends, and it was just lovely.

Nice walk along the river.

I went there for Movement Music Festival May 2018. Lots of cool art and unique structures. It was very well kept, right on the river with good views of Detroit buildings, and the Windsor Skyline. Would be a great place to visit if spending a day in the city. Theres an ampitheather, lots of benches, and water fountains as well. Landscaping was well maintained. Situated in between Cobo Hall, and the GM Renaissance center, right on the Detroit river.

Great place for families to have a great time. The summer festivals is something you don’t want to miss out on. Food and entertainment line up is like icing on a cake definitely something to talk about.

I havent been home in 2 years and this was the first adventure back in the city. Came back with a better camera too.

A fun chilling spot with lots of historical monuments. You can also see Canada across the river!

Ton of freaking fun I cant wait until next year
