Access to Nature
Prairies and Ponds at Oakdale is a 40-acre nature area located within the City of Lapeer's Parks and Recreation program. Along with ponds and prairies, there are creeks, a river, marshes, and deciduous trees. More than 125 species of birds have visited during migration or nested within the area. The biodiversity of plant life in the nature area makes it a great nesting place for many species.

Access to Nature will provide recreational and educational experiences encompassing a diversity of ecosystems at Prairies and Ponds by creating the first public barrier-free access to its tributaries. New accessible experiences will include:
  • Trails for nature observation and exploration
  • A rustic educational pavilion
  • Pier/deck for water study and fishing
  • The addition of a canoe/kayak launch at Pero Lake
