It is one of Detroit’s most storied and treasured gems.  Through the ups and downs that the city of Detroit has endured over time, Belle Isle has remained a constant and reliable place for the Detroit community to gather at and enjoy.  Belle Isle, at 985 acres, remains the city’s largest park and it’s mere size eclipses that of New York’s Central Park.

Freep.com offers up a special presentation, Belle Isle: Revealed, that showcases the island’s beautiful and often forgotten features and usually under-explored gems.  The film also explores the ongoing battle to improve and preserve the island park for generations to come as well as highlights the best spots on the island to kick back, relax and enjoy a day-well-spent in Detroit.

The film is not only well produced but also visually beautiful to watch.  It truly offers a glimpse into a side of Belle Isle that I honestly never knew existed.
