Willow Metropark

Willow Metropark is a large park in Wayne County stretching along the Huron River, featuring forests, open meadows, and an extensive trail network for walking and cycling. The grounds combine natural woodland areas with maintained recreational spaces throughout.

The park became part of the Huron-Clinton Metroparks system, which created a connected green corridor through southeast Michigan's developed areas. This regional network was established to preserve outdoor recreation space within growing communities.

The park serves as a meeting place where families gather for seasonal recreation, swimming in summer and cross-country skiing in winter. People rely on these spaces to spend time together and enjoy outdoor activities throughout the year.

The park has multiple entry points with parking areas and well-maintained facilities including restrooms and picnic zones. Clear paths and signage help visitors navigate the grounds easily throughout their visit.

The grounds feature three distinct water features including the Huron River, Washago Pond, and a swimming pool, each offering different water experiences. This combination allows visitors to enjoy multiple ways of recreation in and around water.
