The Huron-Clinton Metroparks and the system’s 13 unique parks are now officially the newest destinations in the Michigan Activity Pass program,* offering public library card holders across the state the chance to access the outdoor recreational spaces for free.* The MAP program provides free or discounted admission to more than 450 locations, including historic sites, cultural attractions, state parks and campgrounds. With the Metroparks’ participation, patrons can check out a daily vehicle park pass to visit their preferred Metropark location, much like they would check out a book from their local library. “Public libraries play such an important role in our communities,” said Metroparks Director Amy McMillan. “That’s why we’re thrilled to join the MAP program and launch this new partnership with the Michigan Library Network. Our goal is to help ensure more Michiganders can experience all the different sites and attractions our park system has to offer. We urge library patrons to check us out.” There are 13 parks in the system including Lake Erie Metropark, 32481 W. Jefferson, Brownstown. Brigette Felix, librarian and MAP expert at The Library Network said using the MAP program is fast and easy to use. Visitors can simply search destinations by category or zip code, including how far they are willing to travel. Once they select a choice, they can secure a free pass for mobile use or to print off and present it at the designated Metroparks entrance attendant within one week.
