Parks are powerful for connection, learning, and opportunity, especially for young people. Rouge Park, Detroit's largest park at 1,184 acres, is underutilized in its potential to encourage healthy lifestyles, provide connections to nature, support skill building and perhaps most important, to nurture curiosity!

After an incredible year celebrating the centennial of Rouge Park, we are energized and excited to create programming that gets more Detroit youth in the park in 2026 - please consider a charitable donation to Friends of Rouge Park and support our endeavors to get Detroit youth tapped into the urban oasis that is Rouge Park!

🌿 Let’s grow tomorrow’s leaders in Rouge Park—rooted in nature, guided by wonder! 🌳
