Kensington, Stony Creek Metroparks Move to Partial Reopening After Storm Damage

Officials plan a limited return to service following safety checks and ongoing cleanup.

Overview

  • Huron‑Clinton Metroparks closed both parks after Tuesday’s severe storms so crews could inspect downed trees and other damage.
  • The agency now expects to reopen the main entrances, with sections staying off‑limits until cleanup removes safety hazards.
  • Stony Creek’s inflatable slide was damaged in the storm and will stay closed through the holiday weekend.
  • Both parks’ golf courses saw significant tree damage that could cause delays or changes to tee times.
  • Most facilities are expected to be available, which matters as the 13‑park system typically draws heavy Memorial Day traffic.
