Elizabeth Park was the first County Park in the State of Michigan.

This 162-acre family estate was bequeathed to the Wayne County Park Trustees in October of 1919 by the children of Elizabeth Slocum. The acceptance of this special gift marks the beginning of the Wayne County Park System. Elizabeth Park sits like an emerald jewel along the banks of the Detroit River, and features over 1,300 feet of riverwalk for fishing and river watching. In addition Elizabeth Park also offers activities such as softball, cycling, in-line skating, and hiking.

Jazz on the River brings jazz to the park where you can sit on the river and listen to the best music in the midwest! A 52-slip transient marina and boat launch are also located along the shoreline of this picturesque park.
