Kalamazoo County Parks and Expo Center

The Kalamazoo County Parks are open for limited use. All individuals must adhere to social distancing measures including remaining at least six feet from people outside the individual’s household. 

Several park amenities will remain closed by Executive Order 2020-59 issued by Governor Whitmer and in consultation with local health professionals.  Closed facilities include:

• Playgrounds
• Campgrounds
• Dog parks
• The disc golf course
• The radio-controlled flying field
• Picnic shelters and picnic tables

 Additional closures will include all park offices and restroom buildings, so visitors should plan accordingly.  Park users are asked to carry in-carry out any litter.   Walking trails, boat ramps, shoreline fishing, and bike trails will be accessible for park visitors.

Park users must follow social distancing guidelines as follows:

• Go out only if you’re feeling healthy.
• Individuals must maintain a minimum of 6 feet between themselves and people of other households.
• Bring and use a hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol.
• When driving, keep windows slightly open to provide air flow. Do not drive with people who don’t live in your household.
• If the parking lot is full when attempting to visit a park, leave and choose a different nearby location.

The Parks Department Office will be operating but will only be accessible to customers through phone or email. A phone number to contact staff for assistance will be posted on the exterior door.  Business will be accommodated over the phone and we will also have a drop box on the exterior of the building.

Most events at the Kalamazoo County Expo Center through June have been canceled or rescheduled for later in the year. Continue to check our event calendar for the most up-to-date information.
