Two parks hit improvement jackpot after Muskegon beach plans fall through
Updated 1:50 PM;
MUSKEGON, MI – Two Muskegon parks unexpectedly won the jackpot recently when plans for more parking and a wider sidewalk at Muskegon’s beach fell apart.
C.J. Reese Playfield and Beukema Park are expected to get an estimated $900,000 in improvements within the next year that will be paid with money originally intended for improvements at the beach.
After the city ran into timing snags and citizen opposition to the beach plans, commissioners recently agreed to invest in parks that serve children and families where they live.
Neither Reese nor Beukema were at the top of a priority list for improvements that was prepared in 2019. But they were chosen because they are on the east side of the city and improvements there can be achieved rather quickly.
