Roosevelt Park
Thanks to funding provided by the American Rescue Plan Act, the General Services Division commenced the Roosevelt Park Improvement Project. Community outreach was conducted in the Corktown, Mexicantown, and Hubbard-Richard neighborhoods. After months of public input, the design for Roosevelt Park was finalized and construction kicked off in July 2022. Now, a year later, we can’t wait to reintroduce Detroit to its new unified Roosevelt Park. Click on the picture to read about the Ribbon Cutting Event!
