It's actually Giant Hogweed and it's in West Park and also at Argo. I second the call for removal: https://www.clickondetroit.com/all-about-michigan/worse-than-poison-ivy-how-to-identify-report-dangerous-hogweed-plant-found-in-michigan

Another area of concern is the playground at West Park. There are thistle coming up through the wood chips - they're growing & spreading.

We assessed the photos that you sent and we are confident that it is not invasive Giant Hogweed, but native Cow Parsnip that is in West Park. If you are interested, here is a video that shows the two plants side by side click here. We appreciate you keeping your eyes out for things amiss in the parks!
