KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Restrooms, water fountains, and vehicle gates are now closed for the season at some city of Kalamazoo parks.
The city says parks remain open year-round from 8 a.m. until sunset.
The restrooms and water fountains are winterized every year and will reopen in the spring.
Gates to some parking areas and vehicle drives are closed during the winter months due to reduced staffing and lower use. This will affect vehicle access at Spring Valley Park, Milham Park, Woods Lake Park, and Fairmount Dog Park.
Gates at Versluis Dickinson Park will remain closed after Fall Softball is completed.
Residents can still enjoy all of Kalamazoo’s city parks throughout the fall and winter months as nearby parking will continue to be available.
At Milham Park, the parking lot on Kilgore Road near the picnic shelter is open year-round, as is the large parking lot at Spring Valley Park near the water tower on Mt. Olivet Road.
The upper parking lot will remain available at Woods Lake Park and on-street parking is available at Fairmount Dog Park and Versluis Dickinson Park.
Kalamazoo’s three municipal golf courses, Eastern Hills, Red Arrow, and Milham Park, will remain open as weather allows.
