Situated at the foot of the MacArthur (Belle Isle) bridge, Gabriel Richard Park is the easternmost point of the Detroit Riverwalk. Formerly natural and non remarkable shoreline has been transformed into a stunning urban oasis!! Butterfly 🦋 gardens, riverfront pathways, and fountains are surrounded by gorgeous sloping grassways that silence the sounds of busy Jefferson avenue. All the gorgeous landscape features native plants, attracting birds, pollinating insects and a surprising number of mammals. There are plenty of seating choices, restroom facilities, and an in season cafe. Parking is free. I never miss a chance to visit during every season, if only for the gorgeous view of the Detroit River.

Beautiful segment of the Detroit Riverfront east of the MacArthur bridge to Belle Isle. There is a small parking lot in the NE corner accessible from Jefferson. Great place to walk my dog. There are some tables and chairs at the pavilion, as well as restrooms. Beautiful landscaping along the river and it really comes to life in the spring and summer as the flowers bloom. Easy to connect over to belle isle and in the future it will be connected to the river walk for car-free enjoyment all the way to corktown. Also probably one of the cleanest parks I’ve ever visited.

Enjoyed a podcast session with some wonderful women near the riverfront portion of the park. There was adaquate outside seating. The views were great. The area could stand to be a bit cleaner but nonetheless it was enjoyable and I love this park. There is ample parking through the early am and afternoon. Safe to walk, or jog. There is a splash pad and there are restrooms for public use. Very nicely landscape easy to enjoy all areas of the park and transition with ease. Friends have had dinners, picnics, meetings, photo shoots, walk a thons, fish, etc….

Very safe, peaceful, clean and beautiful. Picnic area near the parking lot. It's a little walk to get to the water. A section for fishing near a fenced-in walkway. 25 cents commercial stationary binoculars available to view the river. The entertainment area was very spacious I'm clean with plenty of tables and chairs. A nice dance floor area for a live band along with DJ. The more mature crowd with Hustle and ballroom dancing. Saturday between 5 and 6 are free classes. An excellent venue!!! 5 stars. *****

Spent good time there! Wish they had bigger flower garden. There were couple benches to sit and watch the beautiful blue waves! Nice for walking. There is a big field without tables that can work for family/friends gather and barbecue/picnics! Oh and lets not forget, you can walk/jog/ride your bike there!

This is a big park which I liked during my visit. Seems like there are lots of activities going on in here. There we groups on picnic, people doing yoga, cycling and also a group doing some dance classes. There is a beautiful view of the MacArthur Bridge.
