Park history and the latest plans and updates
A history of Houghton Township Square Park

The two acre field surrounding the community building (township hall/Eagle River School) was an open field for a long time. A tennis court was constructed north of the building in 1939. Playground equipment was added west of the building a few years later. The field east of the hall remained open except for temporary baseball fields in the northeast corner. and a stage for the 1961 centennial.
In 2018, the township lost control of one of its other parks in Eagle River. In response to that loss, a recently-retired native of Eagle River offered to fund a new park to replace and enhance the lost park’s facilities. Following extensive planning and discussions, the township and donor agreed to build the new park in the township square using a design that would preserve the historic look of the buildings and the open character of the field. Constructions started in the summer of 2019. The pandemic slowed progress but 90% the park was open in 2021.
We will complete the original park plan in 2023.
