Greenmead365 Launches Public Engagement for 20-Year Master Plan

What would you like to see at Greenmead 365 days a year? What would make you and your family want to come to Greenmead Historical Park daily, weekly, monthly, annually?

Greenmead Historical Park is a nearly 200-year-old, 95-acre historical park purchased by the City of Livonia in 1976 and operated by the City of Livonia’s Parks and Recreation Department.

To be able to make Greenmead more interesting and engaging for you, we need to know what you want from it. Greenmead365 is a public master planning effort to develop a 20-year plan that will lay out the future of Greenmead Historical Park. Visit Greenmead365.com to get involved and let us know what you'd like Greenmead's future to look like.
