They even have a library right next to it in the same parking lot and small park. I have visited this place many times including the library with my son but only in the day time. Because it is located in Hamtramck,Detroit Michigan border. So honestly would Not recommend visiting at night at all.

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.

Cool and interesting spot! Large painted murals and some structural art as well. Pretty much no one…read morearound on a Tuesday evening. I had an event close by, and walked around the art park afterwards. The building seems like it'd make for a super cool indoor/outdoor event space! It's huge, and the art is really fun. It all looked fairly new/fresh - sounds like the art is updated over time. Would also make a great spot for photography.

I'm a local photographer, so finding dope spots to shoot is UBER important. I recently completed a…read moreretro 90s shoot, utilizing the LSAP. It's an amazing spot to visit on its own, but shooting there was amazing. The down side was having these mental midgets walking into my shot (seemingly on purpose, because they saw us shooting with lights and over 8 models, stylists and an assistant), but it's a free art park, so there wasn't really anything I could say. I've attached a few of the shots here. DEF worth checking out and exploring if you love art!

I didn't get a chance to skate the park, I did take a tour of it. I didn't have my board when I…read morevisited Detroit from NJ, but, if you're into transition, this is definitely the park for you. It's a little hard to find where to park, but you want the street perpendicular to what Google Maps tells you. I wish I had brought my board! It's the only park in Detroit and I found out my AirBnB was right next to it before I left to go back home. I probably wouldn't skate here alone in the evening hours, but it's definitely worth checking out with some friends.

Transforming a once vacant lot into Detroit's ONLY skatepark has been an ambition project for…read moreDetroit transplants Mitch & Gina (of Power House Production fame). As an area resident, it's great see such a positive addition to this neck of the woods....yes, we often get neglected around here as Corktown, Midtown, and the other kitschy Detroit neighborhoods get all the buzz & attention. But, that's another story. Gaining popularity with Detroit's growing skateboarding scene, Ride It has attracted professional Skateboarders & BMXers, as well as the neighborhood kids. I've seen the youngn's crossing the freeway with their bike & board in hand, eagerly awaiting to visit the skatepark. As recreational facilities close left & right with the city's ongoing financial woes, Ride It has become an oasis for these kids. If you're not from this area & would like to visit this Skatepark know the following: (1.) It's located off of Davison East (at Klinger St) - Yes, it's in the hood! (2.) There's a parking lot directly behind the park. (3.) Open from dawn til dusk.

Pingree Park is a great neighborhood park. There are actually two sides to it, the part that is…read morebetween Warren and Forest is more of a walking park but also a hot spot for parties, community events, etc. And geese, so watch out for poop! There's a circular walking path that has paths that meet in the center, like a wagon wheel. Lots of trees and a parking lot. The other side between Forest and Canfield had a playground, a few sheltered picnic areas, baseball diamond, a big field, and basketball hoops. Also a hot spot for parties and community events. A lot less trees on this side so it can be blazingly hot it there in the height of the summer The city does their best to keep it clean and it only seems bad if people overfill the trashcans during a party and don't haul their trash out

The Packard plant was opened in 1903 and at the time was considered the most modern automobile manufacturing facility in the world, with skilled craftsmen involved in over eighty trades. The factory complex closed in 1958. Considering it's been empty for 60 years it's structure is still solid. There's so much revitalization happening in Detroit I hope at least part of this big beautiful structure is repurposed. I haven't done the Pure Detroit tour yet but I hope to do so this summer. I was respectful of the No Trespassing signs and aware of the potential danger of entering unsafe buildings so my wandering was limited to the parameters only, but I really wanted to do inside some of those buildings!!!

One of the most recognizable sights on Detroit's skyline, the building is also known as "The Golden Tower."
