Fishing access at Carpenter Lake is currently restricted due to fishing pier repairs. For everyone’s safety, the southern trails—leading to the dam site fishing platform—are also closed.
🛠️ What You Need to Know:
✅ The park will remain open during construction.
🚧 Southern trails will be closed for visitor and worker safety.
🌳 Northern trails (from the parking lot to the lake) will stay open.
Thank you for your patience as we restore this favorite fishing spot!
The new pathway through Lahser Woods Park, linking the neighborhood with Young Israel of Southfield synagogue, Stevenson Elementary School, and Lahser Road has been paved. This path marks the first phase of a project that will transform the park into Southfield's first dog park!
This closure is all about keeping everyone safe, so thank you for your understanding! We will keep you updated on the project and when the park will reopen, stay tuned. If you have any questions about the project, feel free to give the Park Services division a call at (248) 796-4630.
A new pathway now links the Nine Mile Road sidewalk to the park, offering easy access to the picnic shelter and playground. Additionally, construction has begun on a $7 million renovation project. The plan includes a redesigned entrance, parking lot, playlot, restroom facility, picnic shelter, and the replacement of the old maintenance building.
Stay tuned for more updates!
