EXPLORE DOWNTOWN
DETROIT’S PARKS
This Summer in the Parks season will be like none
other as The Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP)
welcomes you to enjoy and embrace the outdoors,
create new memories with loved ones, and begin to
come together again as a community.
In 2021, DDP is committed to accelerating the recovery of
Downtown Detroit by supporting our city’s residents, businesses,
artists, restaurants, retailers, frontline workers, and first
responders by producing safe, creative, and free activities across
our public spaces.
The Downtown Detroit Parks + Public spaces are at the forefront
of Detroit’s transformation through innovative programming. The
vibrant constellation of award-winning and walkable urban parks
in the heart of Downtown Detroit are managed, programmed,
and operated by The Downtown Detroit Partnership - a nonprofit
organization that creates and preserves world-class public spaces.
In 2020, DDP received the Downtown Achievement Award of
Excellence in Public Space Management from the International
Downtown Association (IDA) and in 2021, Campus Martius Park
was honored as “Top Public Square” by USA Today. The work of
DDP is made possible by incredible and generous supporters and
in cooperation with the City of Detroit and The Downtown Detroit
Business Improvement Zone.
