Review:

When the snow starts melting and the grass starts coming back to life, Detroit residents head to the riverfront. The entire area along the Detroit River has undergone drastic renovations under the leadership of the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy. This non-profit organization dedicates its attention to the establishment, operation, improvement, security, maintenance, programming, and expansion of the Detroit RiverWalk and surrounding green areas.

The riverfront transforms into a hub of activity as the weather warms up. There are yoga and tai chi classes, running and biking races, seniors walking tours, rock and pop concerts, and much more. If you are looking for things to do in Detroit today, the Detroit Riverfront is a great place to visit. The ultimate goal of the Conservancy is to develop all five and a half miles of riverfront starting from the Ambassador Bridge and going all the way to Gabriel Richard Park, turning it into a place where Detroit residents can come and enjoy their town in safety and with pride.
