The Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority, a regional park system created in 1940 by the citizens of Southeast Michigan, provides excellent recreational and educational opportunities while serving as stewards of its natural resources. Our efforts are guided by the belief that the use of parks and exposure to natural environments enhance society’s health and quality of life.
The Metroparks offer 365-day access to open space, outdoor experiences, and abundant resources for the communities of Southeast Michigan now and into the future.
The Metroparks provide unique quality-of-life amenities to Southeast Michigan through our commitment to:
Excellence in public service, stewardship, and programming; Sustainability in balancing the environmental, social, and economic impacts of the Metroparks; Responsibility in planning, development, and maintenance; and Connectivity to the places and people we serve.
