Ferndale Seeks Feedback on Martin Road Park Rec. Facility Options

(Oakland County Times, July 26, 2024)

Ferndale, MI – The City of Ferndale is continuing with public meetings to suss out plans for a recreation building at Martin Road Park. The first meeting, held June 4, had residents discussing ideas for the building including programs, uses, and potential design features. The meeting also included information about the funding of the recreation building, as well as limitations on what features existing grant money can be used for. In short, the city is asking for a Headlee override to help fund this and other building needs. Because of grant limitations, the building must be focused on supporting outdoor recreation opportunities.

After this and another meeting, plus a survey, the city has come up with two possibilities for the space. There is now another online survey, plus one more meeting to be held Aug. 8 from 6-8pm at the Detroit Curling Club, located at Martin Road Park.
