A View of the Future
Campus Martius Park is a great place to visit whether during a festival or event or just to take time and have lunch or sit with friends and talk. We especially like going ice skating there during the winter months. Whether during the day or in the evening the place is decorated in a lively and holiday fashion. The lines to rent ice skates usually move along quickly. It's a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise at the same time. From a historical point of view this crossroads has had its share of historical events which include the mustering of Union Troops, having them sign up and ship off to the east during the Civil War. There is a large monument commemorating the end of the Civil War and celebrating the heroes in all the departments of the military. It is quite impressive and should not be missed. It is one of those places that gives an immediate connection to the past while making room for a view of the future.

Always an enjoyable time...no matter what the season!
An awesome sight during the winter with Detroit's Christmas Tree and all the other seasonal lights and the ice skaters. Grab a hot chocolate and sit and enjoy! During the summer, there are concerts and movies to enjoy. And a bar and beach pit! Families, friends, couples will enjoy the scene. Even during the off season, this is a delightful place to grab a chair or a blanket and sit and enjoy...watching the people, listening to music, enjoying a bite to eat, and surveying downtown Detroit's beautiful architecture and the changes over time.

Nice park in the city
Campus Martius Park is a nice small area in the heart of downtown Detroit. It's lively with people typically eating at the Parc cafe in the park. There's a nice fountain in the middle and a big Civil War statue. There's plenty of seating, too. There was also a grassy area with a screen, but it wasn't in use when we went.
