Ideal Group is seeking a Special Land Use (SLU) grant through the City of Detroit’s Buildings, Safety Engineering, and Environmental Department (BSEED) to establish Scarcyny Park as a permitted legal land use. Located along the Junction Street corridor in Southwest Detroit, Scarcyny Park has served as a community gathering space and neighborhood asset for over a decade. The SLU request will allow the park to continue its existing operations and maintain its role as a shared space for community gathering and local events.
Scarcyny Park is located on property currently zoned M4 (Intensive Industrial District). Under the City of Detroit Zoning Ordinance, outdoor recreation facilities are permitted as a conditional land use within the M4 district. As a result, Ideal Group must obtain approval through the Special Land Use (SLU) process for the park to be recognized as a legal land use.
The requested SLU will not change the character or operation of Scarcyny Park. Instead, it will formally establish the existing community gathering space as a permitted use while maintaining its existing design. Once approved, Scarcyny Park will continue serving Southwest Detroit as the same neighborhood park that residents know and enjoy.
Ideal Group is a Detroit-based, family-owned business with a long-standing commitment to strengthening Southwest Detroit. In 1995, Ideal Group partnered with three other Hispanic-owned manufacturers to establish the Hispanic Manufacturing Center (HMC). Through HMC, Ideal has supported local hiring, educational initiatives, youth programming, environmental improvements, and community spaces that enhance quality of life for Southwest Detroit residents.
As part of that commitment, Ideal Group owns and maintains Scarcyny Park as a community gathering space for Southwest Detroit residents. The park reflects the company’s investment in creating accessible public spaces that foster recreation and community engagement.

– Jeremy Sasson – Heirloom Hospitality
Tonja was instrumental in guiding us through thorny BZA, Health Department, Fire Department, and general permitting issues. The job would have been significantly delayed without her.

Express our gratitude to the incredible team responsible for facilitating such effective business connections; their efforts are a testament to the exceptional value of mutual growth. As part of the service, we were able to transform a deteriorating dead-end street into a commercially viable area. The quality of service we experienced surpassed all our expectations—so remarkable that we anticipated a much higher cost, yet it would have still been a worthy investment. Few companies distinguish themselves as Parkstone does, with their unmatched approach to partnerships through SWDBA. Big thanks to Danel, high five!
