The Department of Natural Resources will hold two public workshops on Wednesday, Jan. 14, in Detroit to allow the public the opportunity to provide input on the future of recreation development at Tri-Centennial State Park and Harbor, which is located along the Detroit River between Rivard and St. Aubin Streets.

The workshops will take place at 3 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at Christ Church of Detroit, Ledyard Hall, located at 930 E. Jefferson in Detroit. Attendees should use the Woodbridge Street entrance. In the event of severe weather, the workshops will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 21.

"We are very interested in hearing from the citizens of Detroit about the ideas they have for recreational uses for the park," said Ron Olson, chief of the DNR's Parks and Recreation Division. "Tri-Centennial is Michigan's only urban state park and it offers many unique opportunities to Southeast Michigan residents and visitors."

Persons attending the meeting are asked to RSVP, as seating is limited. To RSVP, call 517-373-9900 or email SenkoL1@michigan.gov. Groups and organizations are asked to limit their member participation to two representatives to allow as many organizations and individuals the chance to participate.

Persons who cannot attend the meetings may still share their comments with the DNR by sending them by email to DNR-Tri-Centennial@michigan.gov.

Light refreshments will be provided at the workshops by the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy.
