Mt. Elliott Splash Pad Re-Opens After Two Year Closure
Get ready to make a splash on the Detroit Riverfront – Mt. Elliott Park is re-open!
We have all missed the FREE Great Lakes schooner-themed water feature at Mt. Elliott Park on the Detroit Riverfront and after a two-year hiatus, it’s finally re-open to the public.
The walk-up splash pad features water cascades and “kid activated” water cannons, wind chimes and many other interactive features right along the Riverfront. Seating and a covered pavilion is available to parents who want to sit on the sideline. There are also restrooms on-site.
The splash pad is open daily from 10am to 7pm.
Mt. Elliott Park // 110 Mt. Elliott Street Detroit, MI48207
