Lincoln Park

Lincoln Park is a residential community and a regional retail trade center located just south of Detroit in the northern tier of the downriver communities.

It is populated with people who are employed in the nearby industrial areas of Detroit, Dearborn, Ecorse, Wyandotte and Trenton.

Two regional shopping centers combined with strip/commercial development along Fort Street [M-85] and Southfield [M-39], different businesses, industries and other enterprises make Lincoln Park a center of economic activity.

Both Fort Street and the Southfield Freeway, along with the I-75 Freeway and easy access to I-94, provide good transportation access to the region. Conrail trackage provides rail access.
