Elizabeth Park (Island)
Trenton, MI

From:
Elizabeth Park is a 162 acre island park and has over 1,300 feet of gorgeous riverwalk for fishing and river watching. The island park is separated from the mainland by a narrow canal and is located on the western shores of the Detroit River in the Trenton Channel (on one side of the Detroit River is Elizabeth Park/Island and on the other is Grosse Ile island).
Elizabeth Park was the very first County Park in the State of Michigan (Wayne County Park system). It is linked to the City of Trenton by a number of very pretty pedestrian bridges that visitors can walk over and has one automobile bridge which was constructed in 1923. Kayaking the canal was a lot of fun - the water was very calm, not too strong of a current at all, and the banks of the canal quite natural and scenic
Park amenities include: modern restrooms, fishing, Detroit River boardwalk, fishing, skate park, walking paths, cycling trails, pony rides, playgrounds, play equipment, softball fields, cross-country skiing, picnic grills, ice skating, boat docks, 52-slip marina, tennis courts, horseshoe and shuffleboard courts.
The park hosts many festivals. The recent “Jazz on the River” festival in the park island hosted the Ohio Players, Al Jarreau, and Alexander Zonjic with special guest Peter White.
The “Roar on the River” boat races, Pirate Party, “Somewhere in Time” car festival, and Taste of Trenton food festival are other events on the island park.
The park was once known as Slocum's Island as it was owned by and named for Giles Bryan Slocum (1808-1884). In 1919 the heirs of Elizabeth Slocum, a direct descendant of Major Truax offered the island to the Village of Trenton, but when the officials felt they could not financially maintain the property, it was donated to Wayne County. Major Truax was the founder of Trenton (1834) who settled the area after the War of 1812 (originally called Truaxton after him). The Slocum residence, a large white house formerly located in the Park and once used for a recreation center, was destroyed by fire.
Chateau on the River on the island park is a newly renovated space that once served as a horse and buggy barn for the island original owners. It is now a modern banquet/reception hall featuring marble bathrooms, a river view terrace, and cocktail/reception space. The Main Hall has a capacity for 150 guests and features a state of the art AV system including twin projectors and sound system that can sync'd with an iPod, iPhone or iTouch.
