7. Skaters enjoy the ice in 1915. By 1889, visitors could reach the park via its first wooden bridge. Also that year, the skating pavilion chateau (rear) was built on Lake Tacoma. It remained until 1950. (The Detroit News) Detroit purchased Belle Isle in 1879, making it the nation's largest city- owned park. Planned by the designer of New York's Central Park, it remains one of Detroit's most alluring assets. Its deteriorating condition and city's fiscal morass prompted state and city leaders to propose a lease of the island (shown in 1901) to the state, which can better pay for its upkeep. (The Detroit News) A woman watches a sailing ship pass Belle Isle circa 1910. It was a period of great growth for the island park. By 1930, the Casino, Whitcomb Conservatory and Livingstone Lighthouse were added. (The Detroit News) Jocelyn Harris7 http://www.waterwinterwonderland.com/amusementpark.aspx?id=305&LocTypeID=2
