Lenawee County, MI – Lenawee County has announced that it has been awarded a $75,000 grant from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority My Neighborhood 1.0 Program.
This funding will support the creation of a musical playground at Gerber Park, designed to enrich the recreational experience for individuals of all ages and abilities.
The project will feature a variety of interactive musical elements, including xylophones, drums, chimes, and bells, strategically placed along a paved pathway. Designed with inclusivity in mind, the playground will incorporate wheelchair-accessible instruments and sensory-rich experiences to ensure everyone can participate.
Beyond its recreational value, the musical playground will serve as an educational resource, offering opportunities to explore music, rhythm, and sound. Construction on the playground at Gerber Park is expected to begin in Spring of 2025.
