Metroparks Seeking Online Public Input for New Playground at Lower Huron Metropark

The Huron-Clinton Metroparks is developing a brand new playground at Lower Huron Metropark near the Woods Creek South picnic shelter. The playground is slated for construction during the summer of 2021 and is currently in the pre-design stage.

Just a 20-30 minute drive from the city of Detroit, this new playground will provide a unique and exciting play experience for the surrounding local communities as well as those driving a little further. The Metroparks want to make sure this new project meets the needs of the communities that will use it and is looking for public input using a brief online survey.

The public can access the survey until Monday, November 23. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/lowerhuronmetroparkplayground
