Michigan is home to the top-ranked public square in the entire US

DETROIT - It’s home to an urban beach surrounded by skyscrapers in the summer and an ice skating rink in the winter. Campus Martius Park in downtown Detroit just took home the top-ranking for best public square in the country in the 2023 USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards contest.

The results of the USA Today contest were just revealed and it ranks the popular downtown gathering spot ahead of places in New Orleans, Key West, New York and California.

To find the best public squares in the country, USA Today asked a panel of experts for their nominations. Readers then voted for their top picks.

“Campus Martius Park serves as Detroit’s gathering place, where locals and visitors alike can come to take in the skyline views, people-watch around the Woodward Fountain, grab a meal from a food truck or go ice skating in winter,” USA Today wrote about the top-ranked public square.
