Bingham Township adopts new recreation plan

The Bingham Township board approved its five-year parks and recreation plan following a public hearing last week.

The document outlines improvements for Boughey Park, which is located between M-22 and Grand Traverse Bay, and plans for opening the undeveloped Groesser Park to the public, among other items.

Steve Hannon, a township resident who collaborated with the township parks and recreation committee to prepare the document, said the five-year plan will help the township secure funding through programs like the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund.
