Prairies and Ponds at Oakdale had its Grand Opening Friday, May 20th, 2011. Located at The Willows Ecology Center at Chatfield School. Their Mission: To be a catalyst for change, enabling communities to create greater access and inclusiveness in recreation facilities, programs, and service for people of all ages and all abilities. The Universal Accessible areas of Prairies and Ponds and Farmers Creek at Oakdale are part of an Access to Recreation Grant applied for through the Lapeer County Community Foundation. The 35-acre project site is located south of Oregon Road and west of Millville, within two miles of six elementary schools and adjacent to the Chatfield School and Mott Community College campus. The floating dock has no rail but a bumper edge treatment to prevent roll off by a person using a wheelchair, walker or stroller. The dock is located on Farmers Lake great for fishing at every level.
