Traverse City's Clinch Park is hosting a ribbon cutting this week to welcome residents and visitors to its newly revamped improvements.
The downtown park has had almost $3 million in improvements as part of
the city's Bayfront Plan, including a waterscape named for former governor and longtime Traverse City resident William Milliken, a new bathhouse and concession building with patio, universal access to the beach, an enhanced trail system, a universal-access small boat launch, a new children's playground, and an improved pedestrian tunnel--the Cass Street Tunnel which connects the park to the farmer's market parking lot.
The ribbon cutting is at 11 a.m. on June 25 at, of course, Clinch Park, on the Traverse City waterfront.
The project was funded in part by the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund and the Land and Water Conservation Fund, and had closed the park from last fall until the end of May.
