Milliken State Park offers the perks of the great outdoors inside the city.

For years, the berm at Michigan’s William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor has provided park visitors who climb to the top a magnificent view of the Detroit riverfront.

Six projects will share $1.25 million, including $200,000 to the state DNR Parks and Recreation Division for a project at Milliken State Park in Detroit.

Belle Isle, Milliken State Park, and Harbor are all looking to fill positions. Seasonal jobs are ideal for students who are home from college and for those who enjoy the outdoors.

Officials are seeking residents’ thoughts on how to improve and what to add to Michigan’s first urban state park.
