West Bloomfield Parks has annual and long-term improvement projects scheduled throughout our park system. Funding for these projects comes from our millages, grants, sponsorships, donations and partnerships.

Drake Sports Park Detention Basin Remediation

Three detention ponds at Drake Sports Park have been renovated. We received a grant from the EPA for $320,000 to complete this project. Detention ponds, when managed properly, have positive impacts on storm water management, water quality and the environment.

West Bloomfield Trail – Arrowhead Restroom

A restroom with drinking fountains has been installed at the Arrowhead Rd. trailhead of the West Bloomfield Trail. This new year-round facility was made possible, in part, to a $100,000 grant from Oakland County Parks. The restroom was officially opened in September. 

 

Bloomer Park and West Bloomfield Trail Parking Lot Paving

This fall, the parking lots at Bloomer Park and the Arrowhead Trailhead for the West Bloomfield Trail were repaved. This maintenance ensures safe and convenient visits for all parkgoers.
