Linda Walter, Director of Detroit’s Outdoor Adventure Center—Michigan’s first urban state park takes us on a tour of the three-story 41,000 square-foot Outdoor Adventure Center. 

Housed in a 115 year-old industrial building, hands-on exhibits entice kids and adults alike to hop on an ATV, virtually fish from a boat, snowmobile and learn about precious natural resources. The urban park encompasses 31 acres adjacent to the Detroit River.
