Even the river bank has a lot of leftover fishing lines and hooks. If you come here to fish, better show up at 7am otherwise area fill up pretty fast. There are even more people at night time too. Everybody does jigging here, especially walleye season. Clean up after yourself.

This is my first time at this park and I'm pleasantly surprised hope nice it is. I seen two other…read morereviews for this place, but they were both over 12 years ago. I didn't know what to expect, but it looks like the city have done a great job of fixing this park up. There is a few fitness zone with about 10 different workout machines for anyone that wants to use them. They is also two weight benches here as well. There are swings for the kids and a hammock also. There's a nice see-saw, and the jungle gym is very modernistic and upgraded. There are a couple hills the kids can play on with a little slide on one of them. There are a couple gazebos if you are looking to sit in the shade... and also benches posted around the park. The best part of the park is the view of the Detroit River and the Ambassador Bridge. Across the river, you can see Canada very clearly. There are good spots to fish here if you are into that, and if not you can just relax by the water and just catch a nice vibe. There's no trash on the ground and the park is really clean. This is definitely one of the hidden gems in the area.

Nice view looking at the Detroit River and downtown. Weekend there are plenty of people exercising, fishing and have gathering at the park. Parking, is street parking.

I went to the trouble of renting a scooter to make my way from the RenCen to the Milliken Harbor so…read morethat I could view and appreciate the Milliken Lighthouse. Only recently constructed in 2004 during the first phase of the park's development, it stands at 63 feet tall and was designed as a scaled-down replica of the Tawas Point Lighthouse, a historic beacon on Lake Huron built in 1876. This lighthouse doesn't serve a traditional navigational role like its Great Lakes predecessors. Instead, it marks the entrance to the harbor and serves as a visual anchor for the park. The park itself was originally named Tri-Centennial State Park, commemorating the founding of Fort Detroit in 1701, and was later renamed in 2009 to honor Governor William G. Milliken, a champion of environmental stewardship. The lighthouse is not open for touring but the grounds around it are fully accessible from all angles. It is a rare lighthouse that is visible from two countries. [Round number review 1000 of 2025 - 476 in Michigan - 24554 overall]

I just returned from the 5 day/4 night trip to Isle Royale and I had the best time!…read more Day 0: you meet everyone and learn so much about backpacking. If you are renting gear they get you fitted for a backpack and show you how to setup the tent. They go over and distribute group gear, and food, and help you learn how to pack your bag! If you've never backpacked before this is an amazing way to try it without having to buy all the gear! Plus they have a very comprehensive packing list so you know you'll have what you need out on the trail. Days 1-5: We traveled to the island by ferry and began our adventure. We hiked around 4 miles most days with one long day that we hiked around 8 miles. The trails on island are gorgeous and rugged. There was so much wildlife to see including: foxes, beavers, loons, cranes, frogs, bald eagles, and even a wolf! In the mornings we were greeted in the mornings by beautiful sunrises and at night with amazing views of the milky way. I honestly can say I wish the trip was longer! If you have ever been even curious about backpacking I can't recommend PackRatz Adventures' trips enough. Erin and the other guides were super knowledgable and just genuinely great people.

Everything about the Grosse Pointe Park parks is first rate with one exception. The tennis courts…read moreat Windmill Pointe Park are just pitiful. They were resurfaced about 3 years ago and still look brand new. But, that is because they are completely unplayable. Whoever resurfaced those courts left air pockets that substantially effect play on all four courts. If you are a 3.0 player or above I would recommend finding another place to play. The problem for us GP Park residents is that they converted the Patterson Park courts to Pickleball courts leaving us without a playable tennis court in all of GPP. It is crying shame that those managing a park system like ours cannot find a solution to this problem.

I still remember as a kid swimming around the adult pool when it wasn't adult time and watching this bigger guy we all lovingly called Boblo boat swim around the perimeter of the pool by using his hands as wheel to pedal around the pool and do his laps. It was also the first time I saw the fool horror of the red Speedo from the slicked backer tall guy that would walk around proudly by the pool, only taking a dip to cool off some. This is where I took my tennis lessons as a kid. This is where I learned to fish over by the harbor piers. They have improved the community center and it's now a nice Tompkin's center and a great communal spot to watch movies. It's great for renting for parties and gatherings. I don't live in GPP any more but I have many friends that still do and thus I still am able to visit this wonderful park that holds so many fond childhood memories for me.

His girlfriend the "new manager" gets drunk and gets very touchy(kissing guest, rubbing touching, I even seen her jump up and wrap her legs around a guy who then says what are you doing I have a wife and sitting on a guys lap) fun is one thing being drunk at work is another. The bathrooms were clean terribly I mean mopping the floor with dirt literally. The marina is completely a ghost town due to the marina owner I'm not saying party everyday but it's the weekend in the middle of the summer and it's hardly anyone at the marina because everyone is afraid to upset the owner you have to walk on eggshells around him they don't want to allow you to have gatherings at you boat so no "dock parties" they hardly do any events the only saving grace is Matt the helper and Shawn the mechanic the rest of the staff a complete disaster. Seriously I'd give a worse review if I could. I have video evidence if 3 guys filling up gas in the middle of the night on several occasions more than 1 boat brought this up to the owners girlfriend who said it was fine and they know about it but that's illegal.
