Anticipated questions from the community are being addressed proactively, shedding light on the comprehensive upgrades, the scheduled timeline for completion, and the safety measures for playgrounds. Unfortunately, due to specific lease agreements, the creation of an off-leash dog area within the park is not feasible, encouraging visitors to explore the West Bloomfield Dog Park as an alternative. A prominent query has been the addition of permanent restrooms, which, while considered a future possibility, is currently secondary to prioritizing more immediate park enhancements.
