Since opening its doors in 2015, SAY Detroit Play Center is rebuilding and empowering one of Detroit’s most-challenged neighborhoods. Set on nearly 15 acres in the Osborn community in northeast Detroit, the facility was formerly an abandoned City of Detroit recreation center (Lipke Park) until it was targeted by SAY Detroit to become a motivational learning center for Detroit youth with academics as its core. SAY Detroit was founded by Mitch Albom.
