Phase I of the park's development, which included refurbishing the marina and construction of the light tower, opened on May 20, 2004. Construction of the 6-acre Phase II, or expansion, phase of the project began in summer 2008 and concluded in summer 2009. The Phase II project encompassed a parcel of post-industrial property adjacent to Rivard Plaza. On October 22, 2009, Tri-Centennnial State Park was renamed in honor of Governor William G. Milliken.[1] The Lowlands section of the park was officially opened to the public on December 3, 2009.

The City of Detroit finished construction on what is called the "Dequindre Extension" in May 2010. This new section of Milliken State Park connects the park to the Dequindre Cut.
