This one has been a long time coming. Big parts of a plan from 2017 will be put into place. Historically, the park had more green space and was more welcoming than the current design.

What's coming? The Downtown Detroit Partnership says:
Softening the park by adding new gardens
Permeable surfacing (it allows water to go through instead of pool or have to be handled by sewer systems)
