About This Attraction
The 2.5-acre Water Garden is one of the four main attractions inside the 22-acre Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Centennial Park.
The Huron-Clinton Metroparks Water Garden is the first ever Metroparks location within the City of Detroit. The Water Garden features numerous opportunities for visitors to experience the water through winding walking paths, tranquil seating areas, educational signage and open-air classrooms. Through the Conservancy's partnership with Huron-Clinton Metroparks, the Water Garden will be the site of enriching programming focused on nature-based education such as water testing, environmental science, habitat observation, field trips and more.
The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy and Huron-Clinton Metroparks first began working together in 2015 with programs at special events along the riverfront that educated thousands of Detroiters on wildlife and the outdoors.
