Name: Parks & Progress
Start: 2025-11-12T16:30:00-05:00
Location: Great Lakes Athletic Club

We are excited to invite the entire community to an evening of ribbon cutting and revelation, celebrating our favorite thing in Orion Township: RECREATION!
The celebration begins at 4:30 PM with a ribbon cutting at Heritage Park, our newest park on Baldwin Road, located at 3345 Pasadena (less than a half mile south of GLAC). Thoughtfully designed and beautifully landscaped, Heritage Park honors the families and history that gave root to the community we proudly call home today.
Then, at 5:30 PM, join us at 3800 S. Baldwin Road for a second ribbon cutting—celebrating the official transition of Great Lakes Athletic Club (GLAC) into our new Recreation Center! Immediately following, we’ll reveal the facility’s brand-new name and invite everyone (members and nonmembers!) to enjoy free tours, hors d’oeuvres from LOCal restaurants, and try out any of our rec center amenities!
How are we deciding the new name?
