Southfield (CW50) – The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy was created with a mission to turn Detroit’s riverfront into the best in the country.
With over 5 miles of riverfront to revitalize, the Conservancy launched construction across the east and west riverfront to build parks, plazas, pavilions, pathways, and green spaces.
The Riverwalk is home to many events throughout the year as part of the space’s revitalization. Events like Summer Sundays and Mindful Mondays on the Riverfront are held weekly. Other events are also held around the riverfront like Reading & Rhythm, 5k/10ks, Detroit Riverwalkers, Yoga, and Tai Chi.
Detroit’s Riverfront has been named the #1 Riverfront in the U.S. by USA Today.
