Free entry to the Mecosta County Parks this weekend!!!
The Mecosta County Parks are once again kicking off summer and celebrating the end of the school year with our 8th annual Community Open House Event! This Friday through Sunday, June 9th-11th vehicle entrance fees to the Mecosta County Parks will be waived allowing free day use of each park.
The open house provides an opportunity for Mecosta County residents and area visitors to take advantage of the many great recreational opportunities offered through the park system and is organized in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Free Fishing Weekend. No fishing license is required through the Michigan DNR on June 10th or June 11th, though all other fishing and boating regulations still apply.
Area families are encouraged to enjoy a fun weekend together at one of our several park locations. Whether participating in the free fishing weekend, boating, swimming, hiking, mountain biking, participating in one of the staffed family programs, or just enjoying the outdoors, you’re sure to make some lasting memories! Day use visiting hours are from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM. County parks participating in the Community Open House include Brower Park, School Section Lake Veteran's Park, Merrill-Gorrel County Park, Paris Park - Michigan, and Davis Bridge.
The weekend also offers the most affordable camping opportunity of the year as campers will not be required to pay additional vehicle fees normally associated with a camping stay. To book your campsite or cabin for the weekend visit the online reservations of the Mecosta County Parks website. For information about each park’s offerings and to keep up with scheduled summer events visit www.MecostaCountyParks.com
The Mecosta County Parks welcome the community to come out and play this weekend, create your own adventure, and make lasting memories by sampling the wide variety of outdoor opportunities offered throughout the parks system.
