Michiganders live for long summer days and hot summer nights. We’ve scoped out the best sunny day destinations so you can hit the ground running. When the sun is out, you should be too. Get out there and enjoy Detroit!
1. The Scott at Brush Park Pool
When the sun is up, you are guaranteed to find residents poolside on the gorgeous pool deck at The Scott at Brush Park. It’s become the place to be when it’s hot in Detroit. Wade in the water, do a cannonball, play corn hole, grill out, tan, relax with friends, and more all at one location. Residents can even enjoy poolside service through Empire Delivered. Check out The Scott at Brush Park for leasing information.
2. The Dequindre Cut
Keep up your summer bod with a run or bike on The Dequindre Cut. Stretching all the way from the riverfront to just north of Eastern Market, there is no better way to get out and enjoy the weather than a stroll through this greenway packed with urban artwork. If you’re thirsty swing by Bea’s Squeeze for a refreshing old fashioned lemonade.
3. Eastern Market
Saturdays at Eastern Market are an amazing way to hit the town on a beautiful sunny day and come home with some fresh produce, meats, baked goods, flowers, and local art. Simply walk around, take in the views and smells, or come hungry and leave with a checked off grocery list!
4. Campus Martius
Hit the beach in the city center at Campus Martius where you can sink your toes in the warm sand and sip a cold cocktail. Be sure to check out this spot for great events, parties, and live music all summer long and kick back in the fun, bright beach seating.
5. Belle Isle
On a sunny day, you need to be on the water. Good thing Belle Isle has water on all sides! Head across the MacArthur Bridge for a nice bike ride through the park or to lounge around at the beach and catch the beautiful sunset over the city.
