Splash Park
Summer 2019
​​In August of 2013, 
thanks to the generosity of Lear Corporation and support from the City of Detroit, the Palmer Park Splash Park replaced the non-functional pool on the west side of the park, which had been closed for many years.  Open during the summer months, the splash park is motion-censored and will be programmed to turn on at 10:00 am, and automatically shut off at 8:00 pm, when Palmer Park closes. 

Location: On west side of the park off Merrill Plaisance, between McNichols and 7 Mile Rds.
