to Grand Circus Park
No Circus, Two Parks, But
Certainly Grand
Grand Circus Park is actually two
parks located on the east and west sides of
Woodward Avenue, between Witherell and Adams
Streets, in Detroit, MI.
Both parks are
crescent shaped and both parks contain
magnificent fountains in their centers. Seating
is ample, and the lawns are always green.
The parks are surrounded by one of the nation's
best collections of pre-war architecture, despite
the demolition of some buildings to make way for
new developments.
From the park, you are only a short walk or
People Mover ride away from Foxtown, the Stadium
District, Brush Park, Broadway, Harmonie Park,
Campus Martius, the Central Business District,
the Riverfront Promenade, Cobo Hall or Joe Louis
Arena, and much, much more.
Also note worthy are the significant statues
located in the north end of either park along
Adams Street. In the east, a towering William
Cotter Maybury sits looking west, and in the
west, a smiling Hazen Pingree looks east.
And, since
this is the Motor City, a multi-level parking
garage resides under both halves, connected by a
narrow tunnel running under Woodward.
Who Ever Heard Of A Park On
The Web?
The raison d'etre of Grand
Circus Park.com is to inform visitors about
things to do, places to stay, and where to find
everything when visiting the City of Detroit.
There is so much to do and see, no one can post
it all, so Grand Circus Park.com focuses on
what's important - where to go, where to park,
where to pee - and makes recommendations based on
first hand local experience, not the opinions of
infrequent travelers.
