Bingham Township residents are fortunate to have access to five lovely parks within the Township.  Each park site offers different amenities and recreational opportunities.  The parks are open to all visitors on a first come-first served basis; no date/time reservations are available.   

Boughey Park: located at the East end of Bingham Road with access to West Bay water frontage; the park has swings, picnic tables, grills and a pavillion.

Hendryx Park: located along Lee Point Road with access to West Bay water frontage; the park has picnic tables and grills.

Bingham Township Park: located on Park Road off Lake Leelanau Drive (formerly Co.Rd. 641) with access to Lake Leelanau; the park has picnic tables and grills.

Groesser Park: located on West Bay; the park is an undeveloped property. 

Mebert Creek Natural Area: the park is an undeveloped property, but may be used for hiking, nature walks, and exploring. 

Each Township Park is periodically checked by a Parks & Recreation Committee member/steward, who reports to the committee.  The committee serves as a task force to keep the Board infomed of activities and/or problems at the parks.  The P&R Committee's goal is to maintain and improve the township parks for the benefit of residents and visitors.

The Parks & Rec Committee received a State of Michigan coastal waters grant to develop long-term site plans for both Boughey and Hendryx Parks.  After final site plans are approved through revisions and public hearings, the committee will be investigating and submitting further grant applications in order to implement those plans.

The P&R Committee has applied for permits to the DEQ, Army Corp of Engineers, and the Leelanau County Conservation District to make much needed improvements to Hendryx Park.  Work will begin as soon as all permits are approved.
