Mt. Elliott Park is a beautiful, clean, and well-maintained part of the Detroit waterfront. It is a phenomenal water park and an awesome, beautiful gem with a wonderful splash pad and pirate ship themed water features. The park offers lots of things to do, with space to run, climb, play, and explore. It is a great park for all ages and families, with roving security guards. Visitors find plenty of open picnic tables in the shade, seating under a shaded awning, and lots of tables, making it perfect for a picnic. It is connected to the river walk and has easy dedicated parking, though parking can be limited. Amenities include a cafe, clean bathrooms, and vending machines. The magnificent flowers and landscaping on the river are noted, though they attract lots of bees.
One of the best smash pads I've been to around Metro Detroit. My kids were thrilled! It was a blast. Cherry on top is that their canteen is extremely reasonably priced. If you have young kids, this is the place you don't want to miss out on!

Nice park. The kids really enjoy it. Wish the splash pad stayed on a little longer
