Elizabeth Park

Welcome to Elizabeth Park, the first County Park in the State of Michigan.

This 162-acre family estate was bequeathed to the Wayne County Park Trustees in October of 1919 by the children of Elizabeth Slocum.

The acceptance of this special gift marks the beginning of the Wayne County Park System. Elizabeth Park sits like an emerald jewel along the banks of the Detroit River, and features over 1,300 feet of riverwalk for fishing and river watching. In addition Elizabeth Park also offers activities such as softball, cycling, in-line skating, hiking, cross-country skiing and ice skating.

A Victorian shelter building and wedding gazebo are some of the special features located at this park. You can bring your children on the weekends for a pony ride or a stroll along the shoreline. We encourage you to attend our special events at Elizabeth Park, such as "Somewhere in Time", where you can take a stroll back in time to the late 1920’s or "Jazz on the River", where you can sit on the river and listen to the best music in town. We also offer our Kids Kaleidoscope programs and Movies in the Park at Elizabeth Park this season.

A 52-slip transient marina and boat launch are also located along the shoreline of this picturesque park. Refer to our separate web page for rates and operating hours of the award winning Elizabeth Park Marina.
