DETROIT (WXYZ) — The Spirit of Detroit Plaza is officially reopening after major renovations.
Renovations totaled $794,750 and the new features include new playground equipment, a stationary musical instrument, new planter boxes and landscaping, new boulder installation, charging stations, a drinking fountain, new tables, chairs and benches, and fire pits.
“This improved public space will allow us to concentrate on providing programming and events appealing to all ages, whether residents, downtown workers or visitors,” said Brad Dick, Group Executive of Services and Infrastructure. “We are excited about making Spirit Plaza a place to celebrate community.”
Construction began in September after the Detroit City Council approved Spirit Plaza as a permanent public space.
The public space will officially open at noon on Oct. 31 with a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the grand opening.
