I can see Canada from my house.You can see Canada from this park; its 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.

Nice place for an excellent view of the Detroit River. You can see for miles. Too bad its not appreciated. Bottles, trash and broken glass litters the parking lot. Chunks of asphalt is missing from the driveway of both entrances. They play areas are outdated. Geese poop is EVERYWHERE. The grounds holds pools of water after it rains. Nice place to mediate, but thats about it.

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

The park didnt seem to have many facilities, but the proximity to the water was good. It was a great spot to fill sandbags though.

Returned to the park on 8/9/20, and the visitors keep to themselves. Great view of the river. My only distaste is the insurmountable amount of geese poop on the pathway.

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.

Review №22

The roadway into the park is littered with potholes, and a bit of trash, but it still cant completely distract you from the stunning views of the Detroit River, the passing traffic, including some very large tanker ships.

Lived my high school years a block from there in the late 1960s on Lennox Ave., across the street from the old Fisher Mansion. Many hundreds of hours fishing there and the canal. St. Martin High School was just down the street, although I went to the now extinct JW Finney High School 69. Fond memories of both place and time...

Nice area by the water but the playscape for the kids need to be rebuilt and there is a bunch of geese poop all over the grass you can barely walk without stepping in it because its everywhere there are bathrooms at the park but they lock them at 7:00 pm and there is one shed for family reunions and a decent size parking lot.
