Campus Martius Park is located at the intersection of Woodward Avenue and Michigan Avenue. It is where the "point of origin" of Detroit's coordinate system is located. The point of origin is marked by a medallion embedded in the stone walkway which is situated in the western point of the diamond surrounding the Woodward Fountain, just in front of the park's concession building. The park is also the site of the Civil War-era Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, located across from the new Compuware Headquarters and also includes two performance stages, sculptures, public spaces and a seasonal ice skating rink. The city increased the amount of park space in the area by constructing the new Cadillac Square Park immediately to the east of Campus Martius. The new park is site of the relocated Bagley Memorial Fountain which previously occupied a spot on Campus Martius.

Dozens of round, green tables dot the park's green spaces on both sides of the Woodward Fountain and the area around fountain itself. Colorful umbrellas shade some of the tables, giving respite from the sun on warmer days. On colder days, the Fountain Bistro nestled in at the side of the park provides a place to sit and eat while admiring the view of the fountain.
