Campus Martius Park (/ˈmɑːrʃʌs/ MAR-shuss)[1] is a re-established park in Downtown Detroit, Michigan. After the Great Fire of 1805, Campus Martius (from the Latin for Field of Mars, where Roman heroes walked) was the focal point of Judge Augustus Woodward's plans to rebuild the city.[2] It was named for the principal square in Marietta, Ohio, the first capital of the Northwest Territory.[3]
