    This is a great park to visit! I was impressed by it's beauty. There's much to offer along the Detroit River when weather permits. This park is spacious with plenty of seating, playscapes for children and lots of fun for adults as well. There is a nice view of the water. The shed there has bathrooms, and it's secure with park staff. The shed offers space for events of various types. Currently there is a bar with cocktails and Smokey G's barbecue. There were also food trucks parked on the street when I visited. It's adjacent to Chene Park, so it's nice for pregaming before concerts. It closes at 10pm nightly.

    Robert C. Valade is the newest park along the East Riverfront and a good start point if you plan to take a walk or jog along the riverwalk. Free parking is directly across the park and restaurant area. I haven't tried any of the restaurants yet. I see that Geisha Girls Sushi and Smokey G's Smokehouse are at the park and a few people were enjoying their meal outside. The park has a beach, lots of chairs and benches, outdoor fireplaces, and a Sled Shed with free sleds in the winter. This is an underutilized park. Whenever I go for a walk there is hardly anyone here. The East Riverfront is beautiful and I plan to come here more often for walks in the spring and summer.

    Brand new park addition to the Riverfront from the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy. Bathrooms are new, clean, and well maintained. The beach and children's area are well done offering a lot of play opportunities. I really like the different musical instrument play stops. There is a covered seating area and refreshment area. Drinking g fountains and water bottle refill station to hydrate. There are many outdoor seating options with umbrellas to get some shade from the direct sun. Please stop in and enjoy the views of the river!

    This park is 5 stars but when people are using the pavilion and playing their music for the whole park to enjoy and it's filled with obscenities it's a one star park. Music like this has a time and place and a park filled with kids isn't it. The ambassadors and bicycle cops ignore it which is disappointing.

    Winter festivities at Valade Park. So much fun!!

    See all

    Is this park pet friendly?

    Not sure what you mean exactly by pet friendly. It's an outdoor park on the waterfront, so pets are obviously allowed. You do have to abide by leashing laws though. If you're asking about whether or not there is an enclosed space for your pet to… Read more
