Tourist Park unveils new accessible playground

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WZMQ) – Marking the start of a major expansion to Tourist Park Campground, a new playground sits along the water on the north side of the park. The area is handicap accessible, with path access to its layout of safety surfacing.

After working through almost 10 years of setbacks, the City of Marquette had help from the Michigan DNR, and received funding through the Michigan Recreation Passport Grant.

“This is funded through Recreation Passport, which is mostly funded through public through license plate tab renewals, when people pay for the passport that goes to a fund that communities can use to apply for grants,” explained Andrew MacIver, assistant director of community services for the city. “We got $45,000 from passport program for this playground.”

The ongoing expansion will include more parking and campsites, with plans for the existing playground equipment to be removed in the near future.

“There is another playground that we are scheduling to remove in the future that’s still remaining at the moment,” said MacIver. “But this is just another great option for amenities for campers come and visit, but it’s also going to be a great playground option for the community too.”
