To apply to be an artist at Milford Memories you have more than one option. This is what we use, and we should be helping to benefit the entire community.” “The Township has been one of the biggest users of the park for more than 20 years, with annual concerts, community picnics and movie events,” said Township Clerk Holly Brandt, who books the pavilion and amphitheater for Township functions. Local favorites, such as the Amphitheater, the Playscape and the Veteran’s Memorial, will remain. A picnic pavilion, styled after the LaFontaine Family Amphitheater, will anchor the design. The park will offer new amenities including an ice-skating rink, all-ages swings to view the river, outdoor fire features, gardens, significant tree plantings and sports courts. The entry driveway and parking lot will be re-organized to better utilize open space and protect pedestrian zones. The approved plan includes a new pedestrian boardwalk and viewing platform along the river, riparian plantings and stabilization of the riverbank, enhanced accessibility for canoes and kayaks, and a continuous accessible pathway around the park. We’re delighted to be part of this project,” said Randy Busick, Township Trustee. “The Huron River is like a ribbon that joins the north and south of both the Township and the Village, and Central Park is like a bow on that ribbon. “Their support of the project itself, combined with their significant contribution, make this a true partnership.” “We are so thrilled to have the support of Milford Township in this transformational project,” said Ann Barnette, Milford DDA Executive Director. The partnership includes a $1.5 million contribution from the township to transform the park.
