Located in Detroit’s Brightmore neighborhood, the Eliza Howell Park covers around 250 acres. Efforts by local communities and school children have been responsible for a slow but steady recovery of this formerly-neglected park which is home to surprisingly varied habitats, and provides a home for several plants and bird species. You can do some wildlife watching as you explore two miles of maintained trails on foot or by bike. There are four picnic shelters in the park, a playground for young children and plenty of open space for older children to run around and have some outdoor fun. In addition there is a soccer field, baseball field and plenty of free parking.
