The three large regional parks in Macomb County, Stony Creek, Wolcott Mill, and Lake St. Clair Metroparks, are run by the Huron-Clinton Metroparks, whose rules open parks from daylight to 10 p.m. unless otherwise posted. County-run Freedom Hill and local municipal parks set their own hours.
Macomb County's best-known parks, Stony Creek Metropark, Wolcott Mill Metropark, and Lake St. Clair Metropark, are not county parks but part of the Huron-Clinton Metroparks (HCMA), a five-county regional authority that adopts its own rules. Under those rules, all Metroparks are open from daylight to 10 p.m. unless otherwise posted, and no person may remain after posted hours without written permission. Freedom Hill County Park in Sterling Heights is operated by Macomb County itself and sets its own hours, which vary with amphitheatre concerts. Most other parks are owned by individual cities and townships, each posting its own dawn-to-dusk rules. Confirm whether a park is a Metropark, a county park, or a municipal park, and follow the posted hours.
Remaining in a Metropark after 10 p.m. or posted closing without written permission, or entering a county or municipal park after posted hours, violates the park rules and can bring citations, fines, and being ordered to leave by park police.
