7/2/14 - Summer is here and the rising temperatures have children and adults of all ages headed for the parks, and the Hartland Township Board in mind to improve them. At their meeting Tuesday night, the board passed a motion to approve a new Parks and Recreation Master Plan for the first time since 2008. This plan is intended to be in effect for the time period 2015-2018, and public interest in the matter has grown to be quite high due to requests for projects such as additional public restroom facilities, and an additional playground for the community. It was this community interest that prompted two additional motions to be presented before the board by Township Manager James Wickman. These motions, one for a creative public park design workshop and another for a public vision session were not approved due to budget concerns, but the board is hopeful for a high level of community involvement nonetheless.
