Roadways
The Township owns and maintains approximately 24.5 miles of roads. Snow clearance and salting is a major element of the road program during winter months. During non-winter months, keeping up with drainage issues and the maintenance of catch basins occupy a substantial expenditure of resources.
Major equipment include:
- 2 road plows
- 1 smaller plow for subdivisions
- 1 utility truck
- 1 backhoe
Parks
The Township is proud to offer Edison Park as a centerpiece of community recreation. Edison Park’s amenities consist of two park pavilions, a baseball diamond, tennis courts, a skateboard park and a sand volleyball park provide variety for many recreational interests.
The park pavilions are often in high demand during the summer months, so families/groups are urged to reserve time well in advance by calling 419-499-2354.
