Plans to purchase park benches, a swing set, and bleachers, as well as implementation of a resurfacing project along the walking tracks at a pair of parks were discussed at the White Lake Township Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on Monday, Feb. 13.

Park benches would be placed at both Judy Holly Park, located behind the township offices on Highland Road, and at Vetter Park, located behind the Dublin Senior Center.

A swing set is also being considered for Judy Holly Park, while both Vetter Park and the park on White Lake Road need bleachers for the new baseball fields.

According to Jason Iacoangeli of the township’s Community Development Department, the biggest project would be the resurfacing of the walking tracks at Judy Holly Park and Vetter Park.

“The walking tracks haven’t been resurfaced since they were first installed in the park, and now they need to be done,” he said.

While the final cost of the projects aren’t set, the benches are not to exceed $4,200, while the bleachers are not to exceed $6,000. The resurfacing projects would be open to contractor bids.

The Parks and Recreation Commission decided to recommend all these projects to the White Lake Township Board of Trustees. The recommendation is expected to go before the board at its Tuesday, Feb. 21 meeting.

Iacoangeli said he anticipates that, if approved, the majority of the purchases would be ready for placement in the parks during the spring.
