City Officials Break Ground on 22-Acre Park

City officials broke ground on the Ralph C. Wilson Centennial Park on Tuesday. The park is the last part of the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy’s revitalization plan. The $75 million investment will consist of 22 acres of playscapes and recreational spaces. A $40 million commitment from the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation kickstarted the 2018 plans for the park.  The DRC conducted a study to bring back the best features of nationwide parks to Detroit, and a community advisory team gathered input from Detroit residents
