I personally don't like admission fees for municipal parks. Perhaps for non-residents, but Detroiters should have free access to the park.
So Metro Beach should be free to Macomb residents but Wayne and Oakland county residents should pay by your way of thinking right?

If you use it, you should pay.....besides you can walk or take a bus and still get in free. Life if not a free ride....sometimes you have to pay. Are there other free parks in the city? The city rec centers charge fees, so why not a fee for upkeep of the park.
