Hoops come to Cadillac Square

The Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) is bringing a new basketball court to Cadillac Square at Campus Martius Park, located just north of the First National Building.
 
DDP’s placemaking efforts drew crowds throughout downtown Detroit this summer during concerts and events in the parks, at food vendors in Cadillac Square and at the Beach at Campus Martius Park.
 
The basketball court, located between Woodward and Bates, is open now through Friday, Oct. 11. The court is available for play daily during park hours from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Other free activities in Cadillac Square through Friday, Oct. 11 include ping pong, bean bag toss, washer toss, bocce ball, checkers, chess and backgammon. Games and basketballs can be borrowed at the games kiosk in Cadillac Square, weekdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
 
Additional information about events taking place in the parks is available here.
