Belle Isle Park has been a favorite retreat for Detroiters for over 120 years. Whether you're a visitor or a local, you'll learn a lot about the history, cultural attractions, art, and recreational opportunities that abound there. Narrated by Detroit radio veteran Dick Shafran, "Exploring Detroit's Belle Isle" informs you on all major points of interest on the island:
- 19 sculptures and monuments, including its world-class fountain
- 11 historical buildings and structures of architectural interest
- 6 historically significant locales
- 4 indoor cultural attractions
- and much more
The full-featured app employs GPS and helpful audio cues to guide you to over 40 points where narrations automatically provide details. This 2.5-hour guide is a combination car and walking exploration. Biking the 9.5-mile route is an excellent option, too! Explore it all or pick and choose. It's up to you!
For the best experience, download the app and visit the park in person. If you just can't make it to the park anytime soon, use this button to check out the web version.
