About This Attraction

The William Davidson Sport House is a striking open-air pavilion and signature feature of Ralph Wilson Park that will serve as a vibrant, multi-use hub for recreation and community gatherings.

The structure houses two Detroit Pistons full-size basketball courts under a large skylight in a weather-protected space. More than just a place to play, the Sport House will be a year-round gathering spot where people of all ages can connect, be active, and enjoy the riverfront.

The overall structure is over 28,000 square feet, featuring 33 steel columns and a 2000 square foot skylight.

The Sport House is named after Detroit philanthropist and businessman, William "Bill" Davidson (1922-2009), whose foundation granted more than $11 million to the ongoing transformation of the Detroit Riverfront.

The Sport House is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.
