Skate park plan is ok’d

Members of the Northville Township Board of Trustees have approved the design for Unity Park, a skateboard facility to be located in Millennium Park. Funding for the $600,000 park was provided by private donations along with $150,000 from Northville Township and an allocation the township receives as part of the Wayne County Parks millage. California-based Spohn Ranch developed the plans for the project. The park initiative was launched following the hit-and-run death of Northville Township resident and skateboarder Dominic Duhn in 2020. Organizers said a groundbreaking at the new park will be scheduled in the near future. Board members requested a few changes to the proposed design including a different entryway and gathering space in the planned 11,000 square foot facility.
