No garbage cans. No railing for the river wall. Benches are cracked. However the water is relaxing. The geese minds their own business. There are friendly people. The grass is cut nicely.

Always love to go there for walk or to take pictures. Love the view and quiet most of the time.

I liked the view of the ambassador bridge from this spot. I’ve received recommendations to visit the spot in the night when the view is even better, but citing safety and security concerns I didn’t dare so. Just go n enjoy the pleasantness there.

If youre expecting a nice park with picnic areas, trees, trails and benches, well, its not. Its even closed due to high pollution levels in the area. I think the city will rebuild it so it may improve in the future.

Best place ever, and loud. Also smelled pretty bad. The industries need to clean up their acts or leave. Toxic environments are not ok. Skatepark was phenomenal.

Review №15

Great layout and decent size. Unfortunately at times the park is overrun with unattended toddlers aimlessly stumbling around which creates an extremely dangerous situation. The overall layout is setup in a way which.promotes accidental snaking, so head on a swivel for the BMX guys doing longer lines.

There is a really great dog park here. Its all grass and really large for bigger dogs to run. Its also close to the freeway and decently quiet so your dog isnt distracted from outside noises or people; they can just focus on playing.

Even though the park is closed, if you turn left@the railroad tracks(Jefferson Street) there is a skate park,soccer or baseball field, play area for little kids. There is also a shed with tables and grill plus restroom.It is so clean and nice. I go just to watch the skateboarders and it is so relaxing

4 months ago when the skate park wasnt known it was very clean. The pandemic hit and now 5 months later the park is horribly full of trash everywhere. Clean up after yourself. Chicken bones in the garbage and laying are the trash within the dog park, sad.

Awesome park. Big thank you to the Tony Hawk foundation for helping fund this park. I wish it was there 13 years ago, but its there now. Everything is set up sweet, but the park is getting dirty fast. Might bring a broom next time lol

This is a nice new park. They still have a lot of work to do as the bathroom facility is an open style building without doors. I understand why but for people to be able to stay for a significant length of time to enjoy the park, dog park, and/or skate park a safe private are to use the bathroom is necessary. I hope the city has plans to continue to develop this area as it is off to a beautiful start. #ILoveDetroit

Some of the parts of the park need some litter pickup, but it’s a great park with an awesome location. The location makes up for the slight rubble.

The water is always beautiful. But the younger generation or the more type that lean toward ignorance messes it all up. Other than that. Beautiful

This place is so relaxing and peaceful if you go at the right time you can watch and listen to the water and see the Detroit Princess cruise by. I really enjoyed seeing the speed boats in both Michigan and Canadian waters at the same time and there were also families that were doing some great fishing as well. I recommend this park for a nice date or family outing or just to catch a few fish.

Calling this a park is really a stretch...muddy drive to the waters edge but once you get there and park its a fabulous view of the Ambassador Bridge...the semis look tiny and there were dozens crossing when I was there in the afternoon...
