If you already enjoy the Metroparks system in Southeast Michigan, now is the time to share your thoughts on what would make some of the parks even better. However, the clock is ticking toward a July 15th deadline. Here’s what you need to know.
The Huron-Clinton Metroparks is inviting residents to help shape the future of Lake St. Clair, Stony Creek, and Wolcott Mill Metroparks. The Metroparks bring the benefits of recreation to all the people of southeast Michigan, and community feedback can help make that future more impactful and connected to real community needs.

You can get involved by taking a short online survey. There are three versions, each dedicated to one of the parks above.
This year, the Metroparks started updating their Park Master Plans and the surveys are an important feedback tool that will help guide future projects and investments in park assets, property, facilities, and improvements. Residents can use the surveys to share feedback on several topics, including their favorite park area or activity, where they would like to see improvements, what kind of improvements they would like to see and suggestions for the next 10 years and beyond.
We recently spoke to Janet Briles on Local 4 News, and she echoed these sentiments about the project: “These are your Metroparks, and we want to hear from you. Your voice matters and will help shape the future of Lake St. Clair, Stony Creek, and Wolcott Mill Metroparks for generations to come. We encourage every Southeast Michigan resident to take a few minutes to share what you love, what you’d like to see improved, and what you dream these parks could be.”
Surveys for the other parks will be released in 2027 and 2028.
