Public Spaces

We are proud to support programs and partners that share our goal of providing universal access to safe public spaces within a half mile of every Detroit residence.

Why it Matters

Strong communities start at home but come to life in the public square.

Investing in public spaces creates opportunities for residents to connect in unique ways that improve their health, enhance their wellness and strengthen their sense of community. Quality public spaces and access to recreational activities also impacts home values and overall quality of life.

Our public space investments focus on park development and redevelopment in under-resourced communities, enhancing community-led programming and creating stronger connections between the neighborhoods and downtown Detroit.
