Remembering Walled Lake’s summer resort years

Saved to our archive September 16, 2026 · Walled Lake, Michigan

During the 1920s, Walled Lake became known as the “Playground of Detroit.” The south-shore amusement park opened in 1929 and closed in 1969. The Casino also drew visitors for dancing and music from the late 1920s into the mid-1960s.

These are historical attractions, not places open to visitors today.
