Port Huron, MI — Grants from the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan and the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation will add to the outdoor recreation opportunities in the city of Port Huron. One grant will fund trail improvements at Sanborn Park, and another will provide skating equipment at McMorran Place.
Sanborn Park currently has a beautiful trail that winds through the wooded area on the east side of the park. The $45,000 grant will add to the present trail and make improvements to encourage walking, jogging, and biking. The funds will also help link the trail to the Bridge to Bay regional trail system, specifically to the neighborhood and school connector going in between Holland Woods and Port Huron Northern.
The front of McMorran Place is currently under construction and the new outdoor recreation area and skating plaza should be ready in time for winter fun. The $20,000 grant for this project will help the city purchase ice skating equipment which will be available at the plaza. The equipment will help kids of all ages learn to skate at McMorran Place.
