Campus Martius Park – Whether it’s bright and sunny or a cold winter evening. There is something to do at Campus Martius. During the summer, they have a beachy-feel sand area for kids to play. A bar and lots of seating to sit and enjoy a drink. People watching in the heart of downtown, definitely makes for a fun date. They also have an outdoor theater.  During the colder months, they have an ice skating rink and skate rental.
