Park ProgramS
We’re bringing programming to the parks!
Presented in partnership between the Detroit Parks Coalition, Detroit Pistons Foundation, and City of Detroit Parks & Recreation Division, the Pistons Neighbors Program reflects our commitment to Detroit’s parks and the people who enjoy them. The 2025 Pistons Neighbors Program will take place from June 16 - August 15. Fourteen Detroit parks will host free drop-in activities for all ages, including sports clinics, live music, dance classes, and visual arts. Programming, managed by Come Play Detroit, will be provided by local vendors and presented in partnership with community-based park organizations. The Pistons Neighbors Program is funded by the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation, William Davidson Foundation, Priority Health, and Huntington Bank.
