Bert Weeks Memorial Gardens open to the public
The Gardens, designed in a spectacular circular pattern by Walkerville architect Michele R. Di Maio, are highlighted by a magnificent cascading water fountain and a reflecting pool equipped with a Noon Mark which, as a functioning time piece, pays homage to Weeks; a watchmaker by trade. Spacious plazas, formal and naturalized gardens, walking and cycling trails, and spectacular views of the Detroit River from the Riverfront Observation Pier complete the design.
