Brenke Fish Ladder / Burchard Park

Welcome to the open community survey for future improvements to Brenke Fish Ladder/Burchard Park Improvements! The Capital Region Community Foundation would like to learn more about how you use and experience the park and understand your priorities for future improvements.

We value your feedback on how the park can best serve Old Town and the surrounding neighborhoods. Your input at this early visioning stage will provide guidance during the design process for future park upgrades. The survey only takes a few minutes to complete and will help identify the highest priority improvements for the park.

Additionally, our partners will host a public open house input session at Urban Beat (1213 Turner St, Old Town Lansing, MI 48906) for community members to drop-in and share ideas and feedback:

· Tuesday, January 9 from 7—8:30pm (Note: January 16th, 2024 is now reserved at Urban Beat as a back-up date in the event of inclement weather)
