A showplace and tourist attraction on the banks of the Detroit River, Coventry Garden was designed for relaxation and recreation and as a place of civic pride. It features the Peace Fountain, the only international floating fountain in the world, which can propel water 70 feet in the air and displays a light show at night. Each year, thousands of visitors enjoy the brilliant flowers, and the patios serve as unique staging areas for concerts and other events during the summer.

Peace Fountain -operates from approximately 11 am – 11 pm. Put in around Victoria Day in May. Removed the week following Canadian Thanksgiving in mid October.

Walk along the river, enjoy the huge water fountain then meander back through the garden rails and have lunch. Nice place to visit, you can spend a half hour or a couple hours here easily.

I love the Coventry Gardens at Reaume Park! So spacious and always well-taken care of. Great for hanging out with family and friends. Even on busy days you can still find spots to sit far away from people and noise. There are also areas to fish close by.

A very picturesque park area, it's definitely a great place to take a walk with your family, friends, and dogs (especially in the summer where they've really gone all out and the flowers are in full bloom with not a weed in sight on the beds). Great place with a ping pong area and plenty of park benches with shade from the trees. Definitely a good place to have a picnic. Parking is free and there's a lot of garbage cans to throw out your garbage. The flowers, like the sunflowers, hydrangeas, lily, hedges, etc. are great backgrounds to take a picture with other than the fountain. Would definitely come back, maybe in the winter or fall to have a different experience walking in the park!

A fun section of the Riverwalk along the Detroit River on the Canadian side.

This place is really pretty and it is great to go for a walk and just chill and maybe have a picnic. We come here a few times a year and it is just really pretty and I love the flowers and the bushes (a lot of them are trimmed to certain animals). Finding a parking lot is kind of a challenge on nice days but there is a parking lot half a block away if all of them are taken. Overall it is well maintained and there is also an ice cream shop next to the parking lot with good prices.
