The reopening in the City of Marquette will include walking and biking in all City parks, including Presque Isle Park. Playgrounds and restrooms will remain closed. City offices, including City Hall and the Municipal Service Center remain closed as well.

Sugarloaf Mountain will open on Friday. Social distancing and hand sanitizing signage will be installed at the trailhead.

Chocolay Township will not open the ball fields, tennis courts, pickle ball courts, or play equipment at this time because they need additional maintenance.

Marquette Charter Township and Negaunee Township parks and green spaces will be open for public use, except climbing structure and pavilions per Executive Order restrictions. Buildings and offices will remain closed until further notice.

Each locale may enforce more specific restrictions in regards to playgrounds and ballfields. Contact your local municipality if you have a question about a facility. Please be respectful and practice proper social distancing while utilizing greenspaces and park facilities.
