Parks & Recreation
Play, Explore, Enjoy.
The Saugatuck Township Parks and Recreation Commission helps protect and enhance our natural spaces for public enjoyment. Guided by a 5-member elected board, the program is supported by a voter-approved Parks and Trails millage.
Visit our Parks & Recreation page for meeting details, agendas, and information about the commissioners.
Recreation programs are made possible through partnerships with local organizations, including:
- Saugatuck Public Schools Community Recreation Department
- Saugatuck-Douglas District Library
- Saugatuck-Douglas History Center
- Douglas Downtown Development Authority
- Saugatuck Douglas Area Business Association
- Saugatuck Center for the Arts
- Ox-Bow School of Art
- Other civic partners
While Saugatuck Township, the City of Saugatuck, the City of the Village of Douglas, and Saugatuck Public Schools each maintain their own parks and facilities, all work together to support joint planning and shared use.
