Construction Projects Underway at Palmer Park

10/26/2020

4 Comments

 
Park construction projects continue as part of the planned City of Detroit improvements.
Along with the continued work on the shelter/pavilion, there is now a state-of-the-art fitness pad and brand new walkways and benches on the Woodward side of the park.

More projects in progress and planned to begin in the future:
  • Picnic Shelter/Pavilion next to Lake Frances
  • Volleyball Court to be rebuilt
  • Baseball Diamond to be rebuilt in a new location when funds allow
  • Power being pulled for more much needed lighting in the park
  • Removal of the roadway that cuts through the middle of the park property near the cabin
  • Removal of trees in a bad state and and effort to save the bigger healthier trees growing throughout the park
  • Revitalization of Lake Frances (with National Fish & Wildlife Foundation grant funding). Begins Spring 2021

It IS a great idea Ruselda...the more people out at the park utilizing the equipment, the better!

I have been a longtime resident and frequent the walking/biking paths. I would like to help and plant perennial flowers to add color to the landscape. I see some spring perennials but no summer or fall flowers throughout the park.

Hi Deborah,
So glad you frequent and enjoy the park. Any planting in the park would have to be approved by the City. In the past we had an actual Gardening committee, but we haven't had enough interest to keep it going separately over the years, so any planting tasks have fallen back to our Preservation & Beautification committee.

In the last few years, when we had our volunteer days with Home Depot at the Community Garden, this committee added spring projects like planting in front of the cabin and the park entrances to our seasonal list of tasks. If you are still interested in the spring...I suggest keeping an eye on our regular enewsletters for volunteer announcements. I don't want your info to get lost before then. If you're not already signed up, the link is at the bottom right of our contact page here: https://www.peopleforpalmerpark.org/contact-us.html
