Ottawa County Connected County Park Launch
Public Welcome Family-Friendly Registration Required Wheelchair Accessible Public Restroom Free Public Parking Drinking Fountains
Celebrate the official launch of the Connected County Park Initiative, a movement dedicated to creating a thriving, connected web of life where people and nature flourish together. Ottawa County Parks is officially launching a new landscape scale restoration initiative called "Connected County Park" that has been in the works over the past year. This initiative seeks to motivate and empower residents in the Ottawa County region to take steps to restore parts of their properties through native plantings and invasive species removal, and by doing so expanding the park system through a symbolic "park" comprised of individual properties. It entailed hands-on workshops, educational resources and tutorials, technical assistance, a branded yard sign program, and a lot more. River City Wild Ones had a table set up and 3 volunteers present to give advice on native plants and encourage membership in Wild Ones.
