The Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office awarded a $291,249.60 Project Grant to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources under the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916). The Michigan DNR will subgrant the funds to the City of Ferndale, Michigan to replace and upgrade playground equipment, safety surfacing, walkways, and parking spaces at a local park. Additional improvements include replacing a drinking fountain, installing a shelter, shade structure, and landscaping amenities. These park upgrades aim to provide an accessible, inclusive space for community activities and events while serving the surrounding neighborhood. The funding will support improvements to create a stronger community through increased park attendance and positive social interactions.
