Park Rules

All Meridian Township parks are open from dawn to dusk. These rules are in place to protect the natural beauty of the land and wildlife, while also allowing residents and visitors to enjoy recreational opportunities.

For questions or issues, please contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 517.853.4600 or parks@meridian.mi.us. To view a full list of parks, visit our Parks and Facilities Directory.

Important Pet Rules:

• Pet owners are responsible for removing all feces deposited by their pets. 

• Pet waste bags are provided in parks where pets are allowed.

• Horses, llamas, and other draft animals may be brought into the park when under the immediate control of a competent person. Because of their weight, horses may not be ridden on soft or muddy trails.

• Any person who is found responsible or admits responsibility shall be subject to a $75 fine for the first infraction and increasing penalties for additional infractions.

• Ordinance 54-37 is in place for the safety of your pet, yourself, and others. 

If you observe a serious violation of these rules, especially vandalism, please report the incident as soon as possible to the Meridian Township Police non-emergency number 517.332.6526. Thank you.
