Stoepel No. 1

Stoepel Park No. 1 is a 29.3 acre community park in northwest Detroit. Stoepel No. 1 features baseball diamonds, tennis courts, a basketball court, flexible sports fields, two playgrounds, and a picnic shelter. We are rolling up on almost 95 years of recreation at Stoepel Park No. 1.  In 1928, Real Estate Investor William Christiansen Stoepel gave this gift of parkland to the City of Detroit.  It's been a hub of recreation ever since.

The City of Detroit Parks and Recreation Division (DPRD) recently received funding for improvements at Stoepel Park No. 1.  This summer DPRD will be conducting community engagement to hear what amenities would best serve local residents and families.

After a survey and several community meetings (presentations available below), community consensus was achieved and resulted in the following park design to be under construction in early spring of 2023.
