From golf course to green space: Detroit’s 98-acre park transforms course into nature destination

Detroit’s former private golf course at 7 Mile Road and Berg Road has been transformed into Rogell Park, a 98-acre public nature destination featuring trails, wetlands, and meadows shaped by community input. The project took over a decade and included environmental cleanup, with neighbors celebrating the park as a long-awaited and transformative addition to the area. City leaders note the park’s development is ongoing, with plans for additional amenities as funding allows.
