Onekama committee favors North Point for disc golf, advances site work and water/ADA planning
Summary
Committee members identified North Point Park as the preferred site for a proposed disc golf course, reported installation of irrigation and 55 cedar trees, and discussed ADA upgrades, potable water work and an upcoming mParks site visit to support design and funding planning.
Committee members Matt and Brian identified possible sites for a proposed disc golf course and concluded North Point Park is the preferred location. They discussed two options — a site at 11 Mile and a larger multi‑acre lot near the cemetery that would require a buffer — and agreed to proceed with a site visit and a design discussion with Networks Northwest (Sokola). Matt will coordinate the site visit and consider further discussion during the July 23 mParks visit.
The committee also reported that irrigation installation at North Point is complete (work conducted with Caleb), and Jean said 55 cedar trees were planted this season. The committee noted that the well servicing potable water will be cleaned (Jennifer and Jean named as responsible), and that a fitness station is targeted to be completed before the township’s '30 Day Challenge.' ADA upgrades at North Point will be pursued through funding applications after initial installation work is finished.
Why it matters: North Point is the focus of multiple capital and accessibility investments that could alter park use and maintenance needs; the committee is lining up design support and grant/financing planning with outside partners.
Next steps: Matt will arrange a site visit and design discussion with Networks Northwest; committee members plan to discuss progress and funding needs at the July 23 mParks visit. The committee flagged cost estimates and project leads as outstanding items to complete as part of the 5‑Year Plan work.
