Maheras-Gentry Park — Attraction in Detroit

I’ll give this place 4 stars for location. It’s a decent park with a lot of potential. It’s tucked away off of Jefferson rather close to the points. I saw one porto potty in terms of facilities. It appears there’s been some recent cleanup, however this park certainly hasn’t been taken care of & needs some TLC. personally I wish it had a better place to launch kayaks & paddle boards. I found one makeshift area that worked…just get ready to get dirty getting in & out. The day I went out there a big event was going on…it was crazy how bad people were parking.

Within walking distance is a cool restaurant & outdoor expedition adventure spot (to rent kayaks & other water craft). The canals are interesting to check out too. I simply gave 3 stars because a lot of TLC is needed. Overall...

Many boaters took their boats out and sailed down the waters to see and listen to the live entertainment at The Aretha Franklin Amphitheatre. The park is wonderful with lots of parking space and area to enjoy a fun evening. It"s a Five...

Well.....ahhhh, today was my 1st time going, and not was for 2nd annual African Cultural festival. After driving through a massive cloud of marijuana smoking, trap music, and consistent alcohol consumption...I was able to see and enjoy her true beauty of the park!

The river, ponds, the trees were breath taking! The grass was so soft it felt like cotton and down feathers combined! The children playing, rolling down the hill, brought an endless...
