I came here to play soccer with some people on July 4th, from all walks of life in all nationalities. The park has plenty of parking, and the Detroit police were constantly driving around, made me feel really really safe! The backdrop of the ambassador bridge was really cool to play soccer to, and a splash pad was really nice. The outdoor gym was also really cool, as well as the play scape. Very unique! I will definitely come here again.

🌅 A Perfect Spot to Unwind and Enjoy the Sunset

Every day, I look forward to my walk along the riverside—a serene escape that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquility. This picturesque spot has become my go-to place to unwind and rejuvenate.

Great park with public restrooms. You won’t find better views of downtown Detroit and the Ambassador Bridge. Park has a lot to offer with separate sections for playground, skate park and Riverwalk. Plenty of FREE public parking spread throughout the park. The large swings are a nice attraction.

We stopped here after visiting the zoo. Farther down they are expanding the river walk which is still under construction. This area is done. Beautiful walk along the river and a great spot to view the Ambassador Bridge along with the barges coming through. There are public restrooms, which were not bad at all. There are bench swings along the river walk, a kids splash pad spot, an outdoor gym, dog park and a pavilion. Lots of beautiful planters full of flowers. The parking lot is right next to it. The area farther down that is still under construction will be a great addition to the downtown area. While downtown, we also walked by the stadiums and had dinner. It was just a short drive from downtown to the riverside park.

I absolutely love what they’ve done with Riverside Park! The upgrades are beautiful and much needed. It’s the perfect spot to bring your family, unwind, and enjoy nature. I find it incredibly peaceful and therapeutic—a great way to clear your mind and take a break from the daily grind. Whether you’re looking for a fun outing or just a relaxing escape, this park is a hidden gem. I highly recommend checking it out before the summer slips away!
