Saginaw County Recreation Planning

 The Saginaw County park system consists of five large county parks, the Saginaw Valley Rail Trail and a portion of the Grant Lakes Bay Regional Trail. Spicer Group became actively involved with the Saginaw County Parks in 2002 when we completed the first study for the Saginaw Valley Rail Trail. This study led to the development of the 11.5-mile trail, funded by several grants written by Spicer Group. Since that time, we have completed Recreation Plans in 2009, 2014, and 2019. The online survey that was used for public input in late 2018 received approximately 550 responses. This input and feedback from staff helped the County to verify its current goals and update and refine its action program. Spicer has written four successful grants for Saginaw County Parks in the past 10 years as well as designed improvements for the projects that those grants funded.
