Palmer Park is comprised of 296 acres of lawns and historic woodlands, a public golf course, tennis courts, splash park, hiking and biking trails, Lake Frances and its lighthouse, an historic log cabin, the Detroit Mounted Police and more. Located between 6 and 7 Mile Roads and west of Woodward Avenue in Detroit, it has been a treasured nature park and recreation site for more than 100 years.

Designed in the late 1800s by Frederick Law Olmsted and Charles Eliot, and donated by Thomas W. Palmer to the City of Detroit, Palmer Park links Detroit's splendorous and philanthropic past to today's need for public forests and green spaces in the city. The park is bordered by impressive historic neighborhoods, the private Detroit Golf Club, and the Art Deco Palmer Park historic apartment district.

Palmer Park is the largest Virgin Forest (also termed primary forest, primeval forest, late seral forest, ancient woodland) in the Tri-County area, and one of only seven in the City of Detroit. In Palmer Park, there is a true Oak-Beech Climax forest and some of the oaks exceeding 350 years in age were planted by Mother Nature herself. Improvements and changes made by PFPP in the park are mindful of this, and aim to ensure that the park will become self-sustaining, protected and a treasure to be enjoyed by all for generations to come.
