More About the Heilmann Park Improvement Project

Heilmann Park is the major catalytic park project for the City of Detroit’s Strategic Neighborhood Fund (SNF) initiative for the Gratiot/7 Mile (G7) Neighborhood Framework Plan area.  The project is now in the implementation phase. The area available for park improvements is highlighted below.  $900,000 in SNF funding has been allocated from the City toward Heilmann Park.  The City has also been awarded $900,000 of additional funding from the National Park Service Outdoor Recreation Legacy grant.  This brings the total project budget to $1.8 million.  While this may seem like a lot of money, this will likely not cover all the desired improvements.  Therefore, we are returning to the public to get a better sense of your priorities for the site so we can best design the improved park
