Sebewaing Park Restrooms

Sebewaing’s Village Park is a central gathering point for the community and is used heavily by both visitors and residents for youth softball and baseball leagues, and the Michigan Sugar Festival, which draws several thousand visitors each year. The original restroom for the park was built in 1959 and was outdated, undersized, and not accessible.

Spicer Group assisted the Village in applying for a $100,000 grant from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Land and Water Conservation Fund to demolish the original structure and design and construct a new one. The application was approved and helped fund the $177,000 total construction cost.

Spicer Group designed a new accessible 19-foot-by-36-foot restroom building that included a utility room and concession area. Motion-sensing light controls were installed in each of the rooms and electric hand dryers were used in the bathrooms. The restrooms were designed and built to provide the same means of use for all users. Spicer also provided the construction administration services on this project.
