We were honored to have several distinguished speakers joining us for the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting of Mill Pointe Park Pavilion today:
- Pamela Colestock/Mayor, City of Eaton Rapids
- Barbara Rogers/County Commissioner, speaking on behalf of the Eaton County Board of Commissioners.
- Terrance Augustine/County Commissioner, representing the Eaton County Parks Work Group.
- Don Garchow, President of the Eaton Rapids Area Chamber.
Thanks to a generous grant received by the City of Eaton Rapids from the Eaton County Community Parks Grant, Mill Pointe Park now features a pavilion, picnic tables, grills, and trash containers, enhancing our community’s recreational opportunities. Additionally, a cubic feet per second (CFS) water gauge has been installed down river. This vital tool helps monitor the water levels, ensuring safe conditions for those planning to launch tubes, kayaks, or canoes.
Mill Pointe Park improvements are part of the city 5-Year Parks and Recreation Plan, which aims to create beautiful and functional spaces for our residents to enjoy. The new amenities will provide a fantastic location for family gatherings, picnics, and outdoor activities.
We sincerely thank Eaton County for their generous grant and support. The funding is instrumental in advancing this project, and we appreciate the trust and investment in our vision. Their contribution empowers us to make meaningful progress and achieve our goals. Also, a special thank you to all in attendance today.
