Belle Isle Park, 982-acre island park in Detroit, United States

Belle Isle Park spans across an island in the Detroit River, featuring botanical gardens, an aquarium, and the Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory.

Established in 1845, the park transformed from a rural landscape into an urban recreational destination designed to provide Detroit residents with access to nature.

The James Scott Memorial Fountain stands as a centerpiece of the park, demonstrating classical architectural elements through its marble construction and intricate water displays.

Visitors can enter the park through the MacArthur Bridge and find parking areas near major attractions, including the conservatory and nature center.

The Belle Isle Aquarium maintains its status as one of North America's oldest continuously operating public aquariums since its inauguration in 1904.
