Thank you for your support!

A better Thurston Park starts with all of us.

Today, Paddle Antrim, the Village of Central Lake , and the Central Lake Lions officially launched a campaign to improve Thurston Park — creating a more accessible, welcoming, and connected space for everyone.

And there’s exciting news:
The project is eligible for matching funds through Public Spaces Community Places, a program of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation — but only if we first reach our community fundraising goal of $45,000 by August 8.

These improvements will help create:
✔ Accessible water access
✔ Sidewalk connections to downtown
✔ Improved restrooms & an adult changing station
✔ ADA parking & gathering spaces
✔ Better protection of our lakes through invasive species prevention

This project is about making Thurston Park a place where more people can gather, connect to the water, and enjoy everything Central Lake has to offer.

Help us create a Thurston Park for everyone.

A big thank you to Pam Singer with Antrim SFRA for speaking to our club about substance abuse and the life saving effects of NARCAN - if you don’t have NARCAN in your car, at work, and at home, be sure to stop by one of the distribution boxes TODAY to pick up a free box - this is one of those things you hope you never need, but you’ll be glad you have it if you ever do need it.
