Walking pathways are well designated. Recently, some public art was added. Pics below. Downsides. The park has some litter. Empty water bottles within an arm length of a trash can. Spotted condoms and used needles on the ground. The park seems to attract seedy people sitting in cars. Always feel like a drug deal is about to go down.

Eliza Howell Park is a public park in the Brightmoor neighborhood of Detroit. According to its…read morewebsite, the park is made up of 250 acres of preserved land in the flood plain of the Rouge River and has over two miles of hiking trails I visited the park for the first time to participate in a walking tour with a local non-profit. This park has so much potential if only the city invested more funds in its upkeep and landscaping. I thought my vehicle would be swallowed up by the huge potholes around the parking lot. I noticed some trash on my walk. I was told that the park was closed for a while and volunteers from the local community brought this park back to life. It's a very beautiful place for a nature walk and I hope that more is done to restore the park to its former glory.

It is located right next to a Coast Guard base and has a spectacular view of the waterfront. There are benches all over the park that you can sit and take it all in. During the warm weather months there is a snack bar with a covered patio area. As an added bonus their is a bike rack with bike repair tools available, restrooms and a stocked soda machine on the patio area. The park is well maintained and clean. In the warm months this place turns into a small waterpark with a schooner-themed splash pad featuring water cascades and "kid activated" water cannons, wind chimes and many other interactive features. I visited this place during the colder months so it was pretty dead, but tranquil and peaceful. Nice to just sit on the waterfront and watch the river. In the summer it looks like this place would be bustling, post COVID of course. As it is now, it is still a cool place to hang out, ride your bike and catch a run. All in all, I enjoyed my time at the park and look forward to visiting again real soon.

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]

What I love is the forced civic responsibility as the surrounding corporates were obligated to preserve this center as a condition of land development opportunities. Some interesting birds to behold for birdwatching fans. Intermittent benches to sit on and a gazebo part of the way through. Walkway a bit sprayed with bird droppings but its understandable. The walkway and gazebo seem to be falling into a touch of disrepair and becoming a bit uneven structurally, but it's more an aesthetic issue than safety issue.

It has two large playgrounds, one on each end. a lot of green area, some soccer fields, a splash pad and some baseball/softball fields. The side of the park off of Conant Street seems pretty new. They have a new covered pavilion, nice new playground equipment and still working on the the lighting and grass. There is also a lot of green space over on that side as well. The pavilion is nice and has picnic tables under there. The playground has wood chips on the floor and has a nice see-saw, a small jungle gym, a saucer swing and some regular swings. The Charles Street side is where the softball/baseball fields are located and the splash pad. There is also a couple of pavilions over there with picnic tables under them, a restroom facility and the soccer field. That side also has a playground. It has decent equipment. The splash pad is very nice and has a bench you can sit and watch the kiddos frolic. It operates from 11AM to 7PM, in season. The playground is lined with wood chips and has a swing set and a nice jungle gym with slides. There are benches there too. There is an area with picnic tables that are covered by a neat canopy a little further out from the playground. It is very trendy and looks pretty new and neat. You cant miss the bathroom over there it is very colorful. The fields seem well maintained and there are paved paths that make a decent walking/jogging trail. The park has benches and square picnic tables throughout. This is a pretty cool park. It is somewhat calm and peaceful and has a lot to offer. You can bring the kids to the playground, jog around, walk your dog, play in the fields, frolic in the splash pad or just kick back and relax.
