Beacon Park is a sustainable destination in Downtown Detroit: 

• The park’s many trees capture more than 1,500 pounds of carbon dioxide annually, to purify the air we breathe 
• Its vibrant native landscaping attracts garden pollinators like native bees, honeybees, and butterflies 
• The eco-friendly turf and permeable pavers help to prevent flooding by allowing rainwater to pass through to the ground below easily 
• Its bioswale helps to guide rainwater across our landscape and into the ground during rain events, also aiding in the prevention of flooding (diverting water from the combined storm and sewer system)  
• The park has an ambitious goal of diverting 2 tons of recyclable material from landfills each year

Additionally, Lumen is one of the City’s greenest downtown restaurants, with LED lighting, high-efficiency HVAC equipment, and a state–of–the–art green roof that reduces surface runoff by 24%. The 4,000-square-foot building is LEED Silver certified.  

Lumen is a restaurant that anchors Beacon Park, and it offers eclectic craft fare, a towering beer list and a distinctive alfresco dining experience. Owner Norm and Bonnie LePage have been operating restaurants in southeast Michigan for more than four decades and Lumen joins the list of LePage’s other signature restaurants — Clubhouse BFD in Rochester Hills, Big Rock Chop House and Griffin Claw in Birmingham.

The restaurant’s interior features stunning details, including:

• Seamless and connected indoor and outdoor dining spaces – sliding glass walls open to offer a flexible floor plan and plentiful outdoor dining.
• A grand outdoor staircase will lead to a green rooftop dining space with panoramic views of the park and city skyline.
• An expansive ceiling made of Forest Stewardship Council Certified Sapele mahogany wood – ensuring that the wood is sustainably harvested from responsibly managed forests.
