The Recreation Master Plan ultimately determines the most effective and efficient methods of improving the existing facilities and programs, as well as providing new facilities and programs. While this plan assists the community in determining its long-range goals and needs, it also qualifies the community for recreation grants which are administered through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Grants Management Section. The 2006-2011 plan has been approved by the DNR.
