Belle Isle is a beautiful parl located on its own island between Detroit and Windsor. From what I understand the park suffered it's historical greatness at the hands of the City's mayor and council. It is definitely worth seeing. The island itself is glorious. As one drives around it is possible to visualize what the park may have looked like in its glory days. Almost like something out of a movie. But now the parks buildings, zoo, aquarium, and other amenities are either shut down or dilapidated to the point of no return. Never the less it is a gorgeous island worth visiting.
