Recreational programming has been in place at Holland Charter Township for almost 50 years. Throughout these years we have dreamed of, organized, and implemented multiple programs and facilities for use by people of all ages. We are fortunate to have a Board of Trustees at Holland Charter Township and a community that believes in Parks and Recreation and prioritizes it. Over the years we have gone to the community to ask for their help and guidance for things such as being volunteer coaches for programs all the way to providing feedback to us as we look to prepare for future projects and ideas for the Parks & Recreation Departments.

Holland Charter Township is in the process of updating its Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Whether it’s to provide a timeline for upcoming projects or to apply for grants through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, this document is our guide for our department’s short-term and long-term future... and we need your input! Listed below is a survey link that we are asking you to please review. There are 16 questions on the survey that deal with our facilities, programs, and the prioritization that you believe we should have on them. The survey does not take that long to do but it will provide us with valuable information that will help us plan for our future. Because so many of you utilize our services and our facilities, we believe that your input can really help us create a clearer picture of where we need to go, the projects we need to look at, and how our customers feel things are going. We believe we have the resources and passion to make what we have even better, but we want to hear your voice, as well.

Please visit this link (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KR93RVB) to fill out the survey. Any input we receive will be welcomed and appreciated. These are your facilities and your programs in your community! Help us to make the best they can be.

Thank you, in advance, for giving back to our greater community,
