The City of East Lansing is discussing a proposal for $300,000 worth of new improvements to White Park.
The suggested improvements include upgrading the parking lots on Lake Lansing Road and Pebblebrook Lane, renovating the softball field and installing a picnic pavilion, universally accessible interpretive nature trail, wildlife viewing platform and bridge.
“People are generally very excited about the proposed improvements and are happy to see something moving forward in the park,” says Wendy Wilmers Longpre with the City of East Lansing.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is providing $225,000 for the improvements, while the City of East Lansing and the Al White estate are providing $75,000 in matching funds for the project.
The improvements are expected to start in the summer.
