Park Partnerships

Investing in Our Community Through Partnership

Bloomfield Hills Schools values strong community and intergovernmental partnerships. We believe that when public organizations work together, we can create greater opportunities for our students, families and the broader community while being thoughtful stewards of public resources.

Through action by the Bloomfield Hills Schools Board of Education, BHS has entered into partnerships with governmental agencies to support the operation, enhancement, and public use of three properties owned by Bloomfield Hills Schools. These partnerships allow BHS to maintain ownership of these important community assets while working with experienced public agencies to expand programming, recreation, access, and long-term investment. Our parks partnerships reflect a shared commitment to preserving open space, supporting community connections, and ensuring these properties remain vibrant public assets for generations to come.

BHS continues to prioritize educational access for our students while our community partners provide operational expertise, programming, and resources that expand opportunities for the public.
