Beacon Park

Beacon Park has great events throughout the year for the entire family! Whether it's free live music and local markets or Art light installations, it's always a good time! There is plenty of spots to chill, games for the kids, and something interesting for the adults, always. Check the schedule & go visit Beacon Park!

I love this park so much. It's not very busy which is great and they have lots of seating. It's also so clean and they have phone chargers set up.

Beacon Park is a pretty nice park to visit if you're looking for a break from the Urban Sprawl.Tip: Unlike most city parks, this one is surfaced with astroturf, rather than grass.  That said, the restaurant here actually has grass on it's roof.During the warm months, there are a different types of blooming flowers decorating the venu.  The park often has different attractions available at different times throughout the year.

What a great park in the middle of the city! Saw a Skip Marley concert. There were people of all ages there including people with babies. Very family friendly. Next time, I'll know to bring my own chair. I paid $20 to valet park at Lumen. Next time, I'll eat at Lumen too!

Beacon Park is a wonderful place with street parking, easy terrain (astro turf/fake grass) and beautiful views of the city. It is used often to host sponsored fun things to do. We have enjoyed fitness type of events there including outdoor yoga. We definitely will be back.

Well done for the Holidays! The park is beautifully decorated with lights. Make sure you get down here for nightfall to experience and take in Beacon Park all lit up.There is an excellent photo opportunity in a sleigh pulled pulled by lit reindeers. The shelter is extremely cozy and warm. Hang out, play a game, have a hot chocolate, and just relax in the middle of Holiday fun.

Its beautiful!Im so glad Detroit has started using this space for events. Recently visited while goin downtown to see the lights and was pleasantly surprised at all the decor and new set up. It was set up for the Tree lighting, but Ive been for other events too. There is an on-site restaurant -Lumen. And since its cold. They have little heated pods for patrons. A beautiful space to spend some time.

They've done a great job creating a little neighborhood gathering point here, on just about any day of the week. There are market days, family days, nighttime events, etc. We went for the Saturday Night Market.Parking was super easy because Lumen, the resident restaurant, has a $10 valet out front. (cheap!) Lumen also has a monopoly on all alcohol here so they are making it back.. The valet asked if we had a Lumen reservation but don't let that scare you off.. we did not and he seemed to indicate he was a valet for the restaurant only, but Lumen has bar service in the park.The Beacon Market at Night Facebook Event page indicated a "variety of Food Trucks" and vendors. By that, they mean, 2 food trucks, (vegetarian severely limited), and unremarkable vendors.. but they did have 2 great bands.The tater tot truck was very popular with our meat eaters and the other, Brass Kitchen, made the best fried brussel sprouts we have tried from Birmingham to downtown. (they also had a mushroom and cheese sandwich for the veggies, but we didn't try it.)There were games throughout for young and old and a general sense of community that is building downtown and attracting suburbanites as well. This place is a major plus for the area and we will frequent all events here to support it.

I love this park. There are always fun things to do and events. Lumen is also right next door and Republic is across the street.It's pretty with the lights, and there are games you can play, all for free.

Right in the heart of the Motor City was an Oasis of sorts. A beautiful park with views of the skyline and where you can get a quick bite. It was setup for a bike a thin. I don't know the exact name, but there were tons of vendors with free stuff and I got all the swag like a true yelper should. There was a outdoor movie theatre and a restaurant at this park. They definitely have lots of events and fun here. When I drove by they had people on peloton bikes and that's what drew me to this park. I'm glad I stopped by and I will be back the next time I'm in Detroit.
