The Saline Parks Commission and Saline Parks and Recreation are asking for responses to a survey that will help shape their 2023-27 Recreation Master Plan.
“We have done several surveys and listening sessions in the past, but as we are looking to update our Master Plan, we want to make sure the suggestions we are pulling from are of current residents' and park-goers' wants and needs,” said Parks and Recreation Director Carla Scruggs. “Your responses will have a direct impact on how parks and recreation services are developed in the community.”
The survey is broken into five sections: Demographics, Parks, Trails, Programming and Finance/Other and takes no more than 10-15 minutes to complete.
Anyone who is interested in completing a survey is invited.
“After the due date in July, the Parks Commission will be looking at all the responses and that will help us pinpoint some important projects to focus on the next five years,” said Director Scruggs.
The survey can be completed in either electronic or hard copy form. The link to the survey is https://survey.sogosurvey.com/r/SalinePR, or you can find copies at the Saline Recreation Center, 1866 Woodland Dr. Saline, MI 48176. All surveys (physical and online) must be turned in by Wednesday, August 31 at 5 p.m.
The Saline Parks Commission operates, constructs, maintains ad plans Saline’s public parks system and playgrounds. The Parks Commission meets on the third Tuesday of every month at 7 p.m. Saline Parks and Recreation provides a variety of recreational opportunities to meet the needs and desires of the Saline community.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
Name all the municipalities of 10,000 people that have their own Rec Center with a pool. I'm generally curious.
Saline Area Schools needs to take over the Rec Center with a Rec creation millage and maybe a short bond issue, too, for improvements.
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
