Morningside Bike Ride Showcases Community, Creativity
Participants smile for a group photo at Three Mile Park before heading out on the bike ride
Over 20 neighbors came out and participated in our annual community bike ride on Saturday, September 18th.
We met up bright and early, 10:00am, at Three Mile Park. From there, we cruised the neighborhood and zig-zagged our way to various planned stops: Emerald Gardens, Somerset Orchard, Cornwall Corridor, and Featherstone Garden.
Each stop showcased a once-abandoned lot being repurposed into something new. A representative at each stop was available on site to discuss the project and take questions from participants.
We wrapped up the event by noon.
It was a lovely morning, showcasing the community and creativity that’s happening right here in Morningside Detroit!
