JEFFERSON FIELD
Operated by the Detroit AeroModelers. Located in the cozy corners of Joy and Spinoza Dr, this is a great place to come check out the Detroit Aeromodelers flying model airplanes and the new Alex Jefferson statue!
Generations of Detroit Aeromodelers have been maintaining this part of the park and flying planes in this field since the 1970s. Anyone is welcome to join or watch. Contact them here for more information.
In 2024, the City of Detroit created a plaza and dedicated a statue in honor of Lt. Colonel Alex Jefferson, a Detroit native, who flew missions during the Second World War as a member of the legendary group of Black Tuskegee Airmen. Find out more information about the statue and plaza here.
