A couple of Port Huron Township parks are slated to get upgrades later this year — a brand-new dock at one and a lengthy walkable pathway at another — with a boost in federal funds handled by the county.
The township board signed off Monday on subrecipient grant agreements to utilize some of St. Clair County’s share of American Rescue Plan Act dollars to help finance a walking path around Bakers Field Park and the dock at Thompson Pond.
“The township residents don’t have a lot of sidewalks out here to go and do any length of walking without walking in the street,” Port Huron Township Bob Lewandowski said Thursday. “So, if you give them this pathway, (it) is going to be approximately a mile, almost a mile long, and it’ll give people a chance to get out in nature and enjoy what that park has to offer.”
