Dingell Announces $500,000 for Upgrades to Ford Field Park in Northville

Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-06) today announced that the City of Northville will receive a $500,000 Land and Water Conservation Fund grant through the Department of the Interior to improve Ford Field Park. “Ford Field Park is an important community asset where families gather, children play, and neighbors connect,” said Dingell. “These improvements will ensure the park remains accessible, welcoming, and beautiful for generations to come. Investing in our green spaces not only promotes outdoor recreation but also strengthens our community.” “We have gathered in this space for sporting and leisure events for close to 100 years now. Rep. Dingell’s contributions have assisted in finishing the project so both Wayne and Oakland County residents and other visitors can now have ADA bathrooms, accessible parking and walkways and park amenities to greatly enhance their experience at Ford Field. Thank you for being a stakeholder of our transformational Ford Field project," said Northville Mayor Brian Turnbull. The grant will support upgrades including the construction of a new restroom, accessible parking spaces, improved walkways, a garden with native landscaping, and the installation of new park amenities.
