SPRING LAKE, Mich. â Given to the village in 1916, Tanglefoot Park is one of the only constants in Spring Lake.
âIt was Hugo Thume [who] signed the deed,â said Angela Stanford-Butler, director of the Spring Lake Downtown Development Authority. âThe obligation was the village maintain this as a park, a wharf, or a pier and for public use and perpetuity.â
The space would go on to become an RV park.
âA lot of the people that would come back in the RVs were from here, so they were a part of our community; we enjoyed having them here,â said Stanford-Butler.
