The Huron-Clinton Metroparks and the system’s 13 unique parks are now officially the newest destinations in the Michigan Activity Pass (MAP) program, offering public library card holders across the state the chance to check out and access these world-class outdoor recreational spaces and opportunities for free.
The MAP program provides free or discounted admission to more than 450 locations, including historic sites, cultural attractions, state parks and campgrounds.
