Recreation Board Agenda  

Recreation Board Minutes

2010 Meeting Schedule

 

The Mackinaw Recreation Program serves all age groups in the
  community by providing year-round activities for children through
  baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, and basketball programs. Most
  activities encompass children from first grade through eighth grade.

 

All activities include opportunities for parents to volunteer and enjoy
  quality time with the children. The children's activities have been very
  successful, and Mackinaw Recreation has a high level of participation.
  This is one of the best year-round programs to be found among
  communities in the area.

 

  The Recreation Program also manages the Brock Lake Facility,
  located off Route 9, west of the Village of Mackinaw. The public can fish
  year-round, or enjoy a picnic in a pavilion. An old railroad bed provides
  a flat walking trail adjacent to the hills, while hiking trails wind through
  the trees and over the hilltops providing a scenic view of the recreational
  complex and lake below.

 

For more information about the Recreation Program projects and
  future offerings, see the
Mackinaw Recreation Development Projects
  Master Plan (Click on “hiking trails” hyperlink above).

 

All information on the Village of Mackinaw Website is informational
