St. Aubin Park became the nucleus of the not yet finished Tricentennial State Park, which was since renamed Milliken State Park. The Riverfront Conservancy was working on getting as much waterfront land for the necklace of waterfront access.
St. Aubin Park was little more than a large marina for pleasure craft... something that was little used by most Detroiters anyway. There was virtually no outcry that I can even recall.
The park is still quite a ways from being completed.,, and unlike other State Parks... you don't need a park pass to access the waterfront.
