Rosa Parks Circle was designed by Maya Lin, the designer of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in Washington, D.C. In the summer, the Circle serves as a 13,000-square-foot amphitheater for festivals and concerts, and in the winter Rosa Parks Circle is converted into an ice skating rink.

Attended the African Festival of Arts and Music in September, 2022. I found the Rosa Park Circle a nice venue. Clean, easy to navigate and great accessibility to bathrooms inside of a building. We are attending the same event this September, 2024. I will update after that.My only issue is the limited parking spaces. If able take public transportation to this event, IMO.
MoreThis outdoor space is used for events throughout the year. There is presence of homeless people here and at the Gerald Ford Museum. The most important aspect is the beautiful Rosa Park Statue.
MoreRosa would not be proud of all the homeless laying all over the place, we didn’t feel safe here at all. Garbage and a urine smell is very common.
MoreThis outdoor space is in the center of the city. It is a gathering point for GR and is the ice skating rink in the winter. It is getting a makeover and should be an updated green space when completed. It was a nice place so I imagine the makeover should be an improvement.
MoreGreat outdoor entertainment in the middle of the city! Multigenerational winter fun. The ice was great and social distancing was evident.
