Exciting New Things Coming to Lansing
Wow, this is really exciting for Lansing! How about a new ice rink, a new dog park downtown and a public cricket field? I say bring it on. Being a new resident in Lansing (here for only 4 months), I am always looking for new things to do in the area.
Here are some cool things coming to the Lansing area according to fox47.com. 2020 is history and we are all looking forward to good times ahead. This is an exciting plan we can really look forward to:
Lansing’s Parks and Recreation Department s five-year plan to expand and improve parks across the city includes a public cricket field at Frances Park, a dog park near downtown and buying 66 acres east of Fine Park from the Lansing School District.
