PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich.—The Plainfield Township Parks and Recreation Department is considering teaming up with two organizations to develop Grand Isle Park into a haven for soccer and disc golf.
Department director John Short plans to present the partnership proposal during Tuesday night’s township board meeting.
Short says the Parks and Recreation Department are considering teaming up with a new disc golf club and PASS soccer club to raise funds for an 18-hole disc golf course and four soccer fields at the park. The disc golf club would likely raise the $18,000 for the course at Grand Isle Park, with the Township agreeing to provide advertising or some sort of incentive for donors. PASS would try to raise $100,000 with the township matching that amount.
Short says the hope is the disc golf course will be built this year, and the soccer fields would be created in 1-2 years, down from the 3-5 year window in the park’s master plan.
