(SANILAC COUNTY) – Upgrades for at least one Sanilac County campground are still in the planning stages and will be discussed at an upcoming meeting.

The Sanilac County Parks Commission will be hosting a virtual public hearing 7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 2 at the start of the regular monthly meeting at the Sanilac County Emergency Operations Center, 95 Dawson St., Sandusky.

The meeting is regarding a proposed Forester Park playground renovation project to be handicap accessible.

Forrester Park is located six miles north of Port Sanilac, on M-25.

The 68-acre park offers 190 camping sites, a handicapped accessible shower building, a park store, picnic pavilions, a swimming beach along with nature trails, playground equipment and a basketball court.

To be able to fund that proposed project, the park commission plans to seek a Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund Grant to assist with funding.

During the meeting, the site plan and the amount of a local match, if the grant is approved, will be discussed.
