Parks & Recreation

The Cascade Charter Township Buildings and Grounds Department oversees the day to day maintenance of the Township’s parks, as well as the pedestrian pathways. Cascade Township offers six (6) parks, all which vary in size and offer something different.  Park hours are 7:00 am to dusk.  The Township also offers approximately 17 miles of pedestrian pathways, which are available for use year around. 

The Township also has a Parks and Recreation Committee, which is a voluntary board whose members serve staggered three year terms. Appointments are made by the Township Board in the Fall of each year, with effective dates on January 1st of the year indicated. The Committee meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 12:00 noon in the Township Hall.

The Parks and Recreation Committee provides an advisory role to the Township Board on matter concerning our Parks as well as providing input for the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and submits Capital Improvement recommendations appropriate to Parks and Recreation for inclusion in the six year Capital Improvements Plan. The Planning Department and Buildings and Grounds Department both provide staff support for the Parks and Recreation Committee and questions regarding the Township Parks should be directed to those departments.
