Check here for recent updates on important information regarding trail closures, park alerts and ongoing construction.

Weather Policy

During, and immediately, following periods of severe weather, some areas of MetroParks facilities may not be available for use. These areas will be reopened as soon as possible after such an event. We follow a reopening plan that has been developed to best protect and best serve the majority of visitors as quickly as possible. The recreation trails near rivers may be under water in periods of river flooding. Please scout and plan your trips accordingly with MCD’s trail monitoring tool.

 

The Big Woods trail has been closed for safety reasons with the rock steps going down into the creek. We have removed some of the rock steps and erected a wood fence to deter people from going down to the trail. This alert will be updated once the timeline for re-opening is determined.

This alert applies to the following parks:
