Metropolitan Parkway or Metro Parkway is a major thoroughfare in Metro Detroit that stretches west from Metro Beach Metropark. After intersecting several streets, it goes uner the names Big Beaver Road, Quarton Road, and Walnut Lake Road. The Metro Parkway name stretches westerly through Macomb County to Dequindre Road, where it crosses into Oakland County and its name changes to Big Beaver Road. Although not technically called such, Metropolitan Parkway corresponds to "16 Mile Road" in Detroit's mile road system and is sometimes referred to that way by area residents.
