April 2023

You are Invited!

Miami Township is in the process of developing a comprehensive township Parks Plan and your feedback is critical.

Our Community Development and Public Works departments invite your family to take part in an interactive workshop to help us create a parks system that works for you.

Two sessions are scheduled in the Government Center Community Room from 9-11 a.m. and 5-7 p.m. on April 20. Drop in anytime during those hours.

You and your kids can participate in fun activities designed to identify what the community wants out of the township parks system. This is your family's opportunity to tell us what you want at your favorite park. We will set goals and plan improvement projects based on your feedback.

Participants can attend either session. See you there! Call us with any questions at (937) 433-9969.

Park reservations

Township parks are ready for picnics, ball games, fishing and fun in 2023. Several parks including Waldruhe, Miami View, Layer, Crains Run and Omietanski, have shelters to reserve for events.

Township residents get the first opportunity to reserve a shelter through April 15. After April 15, reservations open to everyone. Visit our parks page online for more information and to make a reservation.
