This tour will showcase four very different Detroit parks including the city’s largest (Rouge Park,) the most controversial (Riverside Park), an adopted park and one of the most youth-oriented (Clark Park.) You’ll hear from community members who are helping care for parks, and WDET reporters and data experts who are exploring what parks mean to the city’s neighborhoods.
