It’s our marketing desire to go with that, but you can call it whatever you’d like.” What's Left of the Original Boblo Island?Īlthough residential now, there are a few pieces of the iconic amusement park lingering. There’s so many happy memories of Boblo so we’re not going to be upset if anybody calls it that, but I think Bois Blanc has a certain cache. “We get so many calls from people who say they met their spouse while working at the amusement park, or that they’d like to live there because they grew up working there or visiting there with their family. “I think most people know it as Boblo,” Cindy Prince with Amico Infrastructures told MLive.
For most of us of a certain age, Boblo Island was part of growing up in Michigan, but the owners are hoping the new name and growth will be positive.
Those of us with a nostalgic side may find it name change and disappearance of the name tough to swallow. There are plans to more than double that as expansion begins to the south side of the island. According to information, the entire north side of the island is completely developed with around 140 houses and condos. Once considered the Coney Island of Detroit as an amusement park, today the 272-acre island is a private community.
