Mich-e-ke-wis in need of an update and TLC

I am writing to inquire as to why South Mich-e-ke-wis Park is so neglected? The road to get to the Park is decimated with potholes the size of small craters. I believe serious damage could be done to vehicles using this road. Also, the playground equipment looks like it hasn’t been updated since the 1960s when I would have used it as a kid. The equipment needs a fresh coat of paint and, for children safety, a layer of shock-absorbing wood chips or pea-stone should be set down. I remember that one city councilman nicknamed it a “junk beach” but I think it gets a bad rap as its view of Lake Huron is outstanding. I think that it’s time to focus the Mich-e-ke-wis Park funding on the entire park.
