An exceptional new park remakes Detroit’s riverfront
Detroit just unveiled something rare: a waterfront park where you can actually touch the water. The $80 million Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Centennial Park transforms 22 acres of forgotten industrial land into a year-round destination with wildlife-themed playgrounds, a two-acre lagoon, and cherry tree-lined paths. It’s the latest milestone in Detroit’s riverfront revival—one that nearly collapsed when a massive embezzlement scandal surfaced mid-construction. Now open, the park stands as proof of what’s possible when a city refuses to give up on its comeback. Nate Berg with Fast Company has the full story.
