Lyon Oaks Woods Edge
The Woods Edge area of Lyon Oaks County Park was a historically underutilized section of the park with a rental pavilion, small playground and restroom building. The park, which sees a lot of guests at both the athletic fields and the dog park, was not drawing guests in for general park activities such as picnicking and unstructured play. This project was started to increase opportunities for active outdoor recreation for people of all abilities with a destination accessible playground, flexible open space for exercise, accessible pickleball courts and improved trail connectivity to the Huron Valley Trail.
Phases
Completion and Ribbon Cutting
On June 22, 2024, members of Oakland County Parks and the Oakland County Board of Commissioners met up with members of the community at the completed Lyon Oaks Woods Edge area to celebrate its grand opening. This area of the park has since seen a steep rise in use, with pavilion reservations doubling over the previous year and the pickleball courts in-use most days of the week.
