Muskegon State Park will soon get a $5 million facelift, while P.J. Hoffmaster State Park will also undergo renovations.
The money comes from $250 million in federal relief funding that has been allocated for the improvement of Michigan’s state parks.
Officials say roughly $2.5 million will be spent in Muskegon on the park’s bathhouse at the daily beach use area. Crews plan to overhaul and install nicer bathrooms, while potentially converting unused space into a concession stand.
Officials say renovations will also be made to the Snug harbor fishing pier, its parking lots and roads, as well as the sanitation dump station.
Meanwhile, at PJ Hoffmaster State Park, known mostly for its scenic lakeside hikes through the forest, will receive $6.4 million dollars towards renovations and upgrades, $4 million of which will be exclusively dedicated to resurfacing the park’s crumbling roads, while the campground will also undergo a number of renovations as well.
Work at Hoffmaster is set to begin in July, while work on Muskegon State Park is slated for next year.
