Review:
Located on a large island in the Detroit River, Belle Isle Park covers over 900 acres. The original Detroit settlers used the island as an area to keep farm animals but these days the island is a beautiful City Park, larger than Central Park in New York. About one third of the park has been preserved as natural wooded and wetland areas which provide a habitat for numerous birds and small animals. Other popular attractions in the park include the Belle Isle Aquarium, the Dossin Great Lakes Museum, the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory, the Belle Isle Casino and the James Scott Memorial Fountain. Visitors can access the park on foot, by bicycle, car or by public transport.
