The
Plymouth Township Parks and Recreation Department oversees the maintenance and
day-to-day activities at Plymouth Township Park. Township Park, located at 46640
Ann Arbor Trail just east of Beck road, consists of 80 acres. The park offers
three sheltered gathering places, walking paths, children’s PlayScape area,
fishing pond and dock, local youth baseball plays on four baseball diamonds,
and sledding during the winter months. The park is adjacent to an
18-hole golf course, owned by the Township.

The Township has also built a dock
to enable handicapped access to the pond. The SprayScape water feature, designed
and created in cooperation with the youth of the community, opened in 2003 and
has been a popular attraction with local families. While you are at the Park
take note of the Rockwell Sculptures located adjacent to the SprayScape. Peter
Rockwell, (in photo) son of the famous artist Norman Rockwell, spent the spring
of 1986 at the park holding classes and sculpting the “friendly monsters”. This
effort was funded through donations and pledges from local families and
businesses.

the winter months? Then grab your sled and head on over to Plymouth
Township Park for some Winter fun! During the Winter season the Park
offers sledding depending on the weather. To find out if

the Township Park is the largest park, we have completed construction on the
Lake Pointe Soccer Park located on Haggerty Road between Five Mile and
Schoolcraft Roads. This premier soccer park houses two irrigated soccer fields,
a shelter available for reservation and a playground area. For those of you in
the Lake Pointe and Robinson Subdivision areas we have smaller, neighborhood

Subdivision and Miller Family park, located on Ann Arbor Trail in the Robinson
Subdivision. They have large play areas including swings and lawn areas.
