Beacon park - beacon park opened july 20, 2017. The park infuses light, energy, and motion to create a distinctive gathering place, and an unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages. The circular, open lawn is the largest of any downtown detroit park and gives visitors room to run, play, relax and recharge. The park provides year-round programming, interactive light installations and a contemporary restaurant with a rooftop garden and dining space for panoramic views of the park and city skyline. The park has activated 1.2 acres, improved walkability, and created a catalyst for cultural vibrancy and economic development.
