Lakewood Park is situated on the shore of Lake St. Clair just off the scenic Riverside Drive.
It is split into Northern and Southern sections. The North side is composed of 7 acres of manicured lawns with a paved walking trail. The trail takes you for a relaxing walk through the beach and to the pavilion and gazebo which overlook the various flowerbeds and art installations. There is plenty of sun and shade here to enjoy the beautiful weather coming off the lake.
Lakewood Park South, on the opposite side of Riverside Drive, is a former golf course turned walking loop. The 1.8-kilometre path takes visitors through forested areas and through stone walking areas.
Outdoor activities are available including rock climbing and an 18-hole disk golf course. Dogs are allowed on the trail but only if they are kept on a leash. There is free parking available off Riverside Drive at the roundabout. Food and drinks are seasonally available from concession stands, be sure to get ice cream in the summer.
