Large Beautiful public park nestled right outside downtown Detroit. So much to do there. I recommend a visit if you are in the area.
At almost 1000 acres, you are sure to find something fun to do on Belle Isle. Be sure to visit the beautiful Conservatory , the Dossin Great Lakes Museum , or just enjoy the fantastic views of the river
The island was landscaped in the 1880s & served as a staging ground by the U.S. military during World War II for a re-enactment of a Pacific island invasion by the Navy and Marine Corps.
It's a great place to go and have a picnic with your significant other or your family, the beach is also awesome
The park is in great condition these days, with lots of walking trails , bike lanes, picnic areas , playgrounds and a beach . Spend a whole day here!
Enjoying a day at the park ? Stop by the GM Renaissance Center for lunch or dinner at one of our great restaurants after your done with your day in the sun: http://www.gmrencen.com/dine.axis
Avoid walking on the grass. It is 100 percent covered in Goose poop . Some buildings are condemned. The view of the bridge to Canada is nice. The locals sit in their parked cars and smoke.
The weather was perfect! Went bike to ding then cooled off under a willow tree with a refreshing lemon sorbet !
After you have picked up your picnic basket from Rose 's Fine Foods, head over to Belle Isle for a beautiful picnic . Just make sure to watch out for goose poop !

Great place to walk around and explore. The environment is nice, and the view and scenery is pretty.
Great park , just don't be there when it gets dark because there is some shady activity going on there at night.
Beautiful place to spend an afternoon in Detroit.
Although it boasts nearly 100 acres, not many know it is the largest city park in America. Complete with golf course , beach , Giant Slide , maritime museum , botanical garden and more.
A great place to spend an afternoon. The giant slide is only $1.
Beautiful park ! Have been going since I was 2 years old and I still enjoy it!

Go to the Conservatory when the weather doesn't cooperate. It's the best place to go to warm up, feel some tropical humidity, and see some pretty spectacular flora and fauna. - BareBones Detroit
Such a beautiful street course. The landscape is so peaceful and lovely ❤ - Alex K
A little sandy strip in the middle of the park. Family friendly. - Maggie MacG
