Parks and Recreation Plan - Parks and Recreation Plan

The City of Coopersville has never had a comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan. Given this, the city out of compliance with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) and does not have true inventory of recreation infrastructure. The City’s desired plan would provide direction for larger development/redevelopment initiatives and future land use goals. The primary motivations for this plan are to integrate the Parks and Recreation Plan more closely with the City’s land use Master Plan, incorporate the newly developed vision for the North Bank Trail project and to become compliant with the MDNR’s requirements to purse recreation grants to enhance the City’s current parks and recreation infrastructure. The City also seeks to better leverage property along Deer Creek that is historically underutilized marshy area.
