The Monroe Street Midway — Local services in Detroit

This is a beautiful outdoor, public park space provided by the City of Detroit. Different things are offered in warm weather and cold.

Warm weather: There is plenty of outdoor seating, music over the speakers, FREE putt putt golf, outdoor basketball (they provide balls), hula hoops, and a jumbo chess board, tic-tac-toe board, and jumbo connect four. There's outdoor skating that does cost for the skate rentals. A couple food trucks but there's plenty food options in the area too.

Update for winter time: They have a free jumbo slide with 3 lanes so you can go down side by side (ages 5 & up), free puck putt using a hockey stick and puck like putt putt golf, fire pits to warm up and free photos with Santa :) there's also $5 bumper cars and pay to play arcade. Lines were long but it was a fun time! Thank you Detroit for putting this together :) given the demographics of Detroit, I'd recommend having a black Santa though.

Street parking is only $1/hr but there's also many pay to park lots...

So it's not ok for my child to ride but it's ok for 1yrs to ride. Spent $30 on bumper boat tickets that we couldnt use as the line was too long, golf closes at 730 vs 8pm as listed... What a joke, complete waste of our time and money.. we...

This is permanently closed. I’m not sure why google still has it as open. It made me believe it was still operating so I planned a trip here. Unfortunately for me I came during tigers game which I’m not sports fan so I didn’t know and couldn’t find parking plus so much traffic. When I did find parking and paid, we were walking in circles trying to find this place just to realize we parked in front of it; a demolition site. When we got back to car, we looked at the website that is listed here. It says nothing about it being gone on the website until you actually search it up on google and...
