River Rouge Park is bounded, roughly, by the CSX Railroad on the North, by Outer Drive, West Parkway and Parkland on the West; West Warren on the South and Trinity and Burt Road on the East. It is located on the far west side of Detroit.
In the 1920s, the City of Detroit paid $1.3 million to purchase land from six farmers at the western edge of the city to be used for River Rouge Park. It now contains 1,184 acres, which means that it is 40 percent larger than New York City’s Central Park. The Rouge River flows for more than two miles through this green and lovely park. At least 15 acres have been restored to native prairie. This park contains an 18-hole golf course, 14 regulation diamonds, including the Hank Aaron and Aurelio Rodriguez baseball fields, 12 playgrounds, 11 tennis courts, eight miles of bicycle trails, including one used by the Michigan Mountain Biking Association, 200 picnic tables, a driving range, an area for scout groups to camp and the large Alex Jefferson Model Airplane Field. The Brennan Pools are a major feature. There are two Olympic-sized pools side by side and a smaller pool. The smaller diving pool has since been removed. This athletic facility is located near the intersection of Plymouth and Outer Drive .
