Well they're parks where people play, but on the bright side, if you're really interested in conservation in the area there's a listing on Zillow here: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/Shay-Lake-Rd-Kingston-MI-...

1.3 acres for $6k where you can cultivate whatever plants/habitat you want.

Kingston is quite a ways North of Detroit in Michigan's 'thumb' region, lots of great farmland just North of there.

You can buy large acreage in the city of Detroit pretty inexpensively. The city itself will sell you individual house lots for $100.

Sounds like a great opportunity for all the wildlife proponents in this thread to do their share and create a natural reserve where they believe there should be one. That's far more productive than criticizing volunteers for mowig a lawn.
