Pallister Park
Pallister Park is a quiet and beautiful urban oasis nestled in a residential area of Detroit. It offers a green and grassy space with wheelchair accessible entrance, swings, and a playground suitable for children. While the playground’s design has received mixed feedback for lacking creativity, the park itself is appreciated for its serene ambiance, community atmosphere, and cleanliness. It is also dog-friendly, making it a nice spot for families and pet owners alike.

I was there for an event for lupus. The park itself was beautiful. I loved the surrounding street near by. And the vibe was a serene one. The vibe was all good.
Beautiful little park nestled in a gorgeous residential neighborhood. Little slice of quiet within the surrounding city.
Quiet park, usually very clean. Beautiful trees and a small area for kids to play
This park is great for a nice grassy space. However, the worst playground I have ever seen was built here. This playground is where imagination goes to die. It has a platform that goes to nowhere. It has a swingset that could accommodate multiple swings but only one lone tire swing. It has some logs you can…. stand on? Where as this playground could have been a space where kids and families from the community could go and play, instead we have this pretentious monument which is out of touch and does little more than take up space. Hardly anyone ever uses this space and if I were a kid being brought here I would think I was being punished.
This park brings a lot of community together. Today I sat here and watched a family enjoy the swing, others played basketball and we sat, backs against a tree, taking in some Detroit air – overall comfortable and safe park.
HOWEVER, the playground is completely lacking in any creative or purposeful design. The staircase that leads to nothing serves as a sad attempt to evoke movement and joy but only serves as a sad raft on a stranded island of boredom.
