Laketown Township, located near Holland, Michigan, has added more public land around its beach with the purchase of 3.17 acres. The land does not touch Lake Michigan but has a view of the water.
“It is important to acquire as much land as possible near Lake Michigan for our residents,” says Township Manager Al Meshkin.
There are no plans for the property yet, but the parks commission will work on plans over the next few years.
“We have been working to acquire land near the township beach since 2016. This is our fifth, and largest, acquisition,” Meshkin says.
In total, including the original land acquired in 1926, the township park spans 7.6 acres. Laketown Township Beach is the township’s oldest park.
