Park Restrooms Close for the Season on November 1

The restrooms at the Mary Thompson Farm and Civic Center, Inglenook, Pebble Creek and Beech Woods parks will be closing on Wednesday, November 1 through May 1, 2024. Porta potties will be available at Inglenook Park (near the existing restrooms), and Civic Center Park (near the tennis courts) through the month of November (weather permitting). These closures are done to safeguard the restrooms from pipes freezing/thawing and causing damage to the facilities.

Carpenter Lake Nature Preserve is Closed for Construction

Exciting updates are coming to the Carpenter Lake Nature Preserve!! Thanks in part to a $600,000 Michigan Economic Development Grant, construction began Monday, July 31 on the expansion and improvement of the parking lot at the park as well as the addition of a small open-air shelter and an all-season restroom facility. The open-air shelter (max capacity of 25 people) will be used as a classroom for nature programs.
As you can imagine, a project of this scope will require the park to be closed to the public during construction. Complete closure of the park is necessary for the safety of the public and the workers. Carpenter Lake Nature Preserve will be closing to the public on Monday, July 31 for phase 1 of the project to begin. Anticipated completion of phase 1 of this project is tentatively scheduled for the end of October 2023. Contractors and city officials will determine at that time if the park reopens to the public prior to phase 2 construction beginning, or if it will remain closed until the project is completed in Spring 2024.
