Eaton County Parks Get Major Upgrades

Eaton County is investing over $400,000 in local parks through the 2026 Parks Community Grant Program, funding everything from playgrounds to accessible swings and landscaping. Sunfield leads with $170,000 for parks and play areas, while Grand Ledge gets $117,000 for an accessible swing, Vermontville upgrades its playground, Charlotte adds an accessible path, and Hamlin Township tackles a culvert. Smaller grants go to Eaton Rapids Township for benches and the city for landscaping and a new recreation trailer. County leaders praised applicants and hinted at more funding opportunities next year—making public spaces more fun, functional, and inclusive for all.
