Grand Circus Park is a public transit station in Downtown Detroit, Michigan that services both Detroit People Mover and the QLine. The station takes its name from the adjacent Grand Circus Park.
The station occupies the first two floors of a structure attached to the historic David Whitney Building. It is located at the intersection of Park Street and Woodward Avenue near Washington Boulevard, in the Grand Circus Park Historic District. Accessible by stairway only after the David Whitney Building closed in 1999, the station underwent a major renovation between August 2014 and June 2015 to make it ADA-compliant, to coincide with the reopening of the David Whitney as an Aloft hotel and apartments.
The station has a transfer to the QLINE light rail outside along Woodward Ave. The QLINE station is heated and features security cameras and emergency phones. Passenger amenities include Wi-Fi and arrival signs. The QLINE portion of the Grand Circus Park Station is sponsored by General Motors' Chevrolet brand.
