The new pathway through Lahser Woods Park, linking the neighborhood with Young Israel of Southfield synagogue, Stevenson Elementary School, and Lahser Road has been paved. This path marks the first phase of a project that will transform the park into Southfield's first dog park!
This closure is all about keeping everyone safe, so thank you for your understanding! We will keep you updated on the project and when the park will reopen, stay tuned. If you have any questions about the project, feel free to give the Park Services division a call at (248) 796-4630.

a putting green in the foreground with link fencing denoting construction area in the background — We’re thrilled to announce more construction at Beech Woods Park!
A new pathway now links the Nine Mile Road sidewalk to the park, offering easy access to the picnic shelter and playground. Additionally, construction has begun on a $7 million renovation project. The plan includes a redesigned entrance, parking lot, playlot, restroom facility, picnic shelter, and the replacement of the old maintenance building.
Stay tuned for more updates!
