Kensington Metropark and Stony Creek Metropark are both back open after strong storms left behind damage on Tuesday afternoon.

According to the Huron-Clinton Metroparks, the entrances to both parks reopened at 8 a.m. Wednesday, as crews have been working hard to get everything ready for visitors during Memorial Day weekend.

Officials said that both parks closed Tuesday evening so crews could safely assess and clean up storm damage.

"Some interior areas within the parks will remain temporarily closed as crews continue to review conditions and complete cleanup efforts. Those areas may reopen or change throughout the day as work progresses," a spokesperson said.

The inflatable slide at Stony Creek Metropark was damaged in the storm, and there is also significant tree damage on both golf courses, which could lead to some delays or adjustments in play.

"The good news is that most facilities are expected to be open and ready for the warm, sunny forecast ahead. We’ll continue sharing updates and any closures on our website and social channels as crews complete cleanup efforts.
