ORION TOWNSHIP UNVEILS EXPANSIVE BEACH AREA, ENHANCING
RECREATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS
Orion Township, MI (June 9, 2023) Camp Agawam, an Orion Township Park, a beloved recreational haven for
residents of Orion Township is proud to announce the completion of its highly anticipated beach expansion
project. This transformative enhancement nearly doubles the beach area, providing an ideal destination for
relaxation, water activities, and creating cherished memories with family and friends.
The newly expanded beach area features a designated swim area, designed to provide a safe and enjoyable
environment for visitors of all ages. Beachgoers can take a refreshing dip in the clear water, create sandcastles,
or simply relax while savoring the panoramic views and picturesque surroundings.
While the beach expansion represents a significant milestone for the park, it is only one of the many amenities
that make this park a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors will find an extensive network of scenic trails
perfect for leisurely walks, a state-of-the-art disc golf course designed to challenge players of all skill levels, and
a vibrant playground featuring innovative play elements ensuring endless fun for all.
“Camp Agawam has always been a cherished gathering place for our community, and with the addition of the
expanded beach area, it is now an even more desirable destination for outdoor recreation,” stated Orion
Township Supervisor Chris Barnett. “This project is part of our long-term commitment to the community and
goal of providing exceptional recreational opportunities that promote an active and vibrant community for all.”
