Description
This parkland was donated to Onekama Township in 1993 by members of the Harry F. Feldhak family with provision that no structures are to be placed on the property. This open space surrounded by wetlands provides a view of Portage Lake at the south entrance to the Village. It was designated as a Park by the Township Board in 2005 and named in honor of the late Harry Feldhak. It is Lakefront property, and contains a picnic table and a monument with a bronze plaque indicating the Park’s name. An unpaved parking lot is at the edge of the Park just beyond the shoulder of M-22 on which the Park fronts; it is most enjoyed by people driving past it who have a view of the lawn, wetlands, and Portage Lake.
Feldhak Park is at with grass that is kept mowed and therefore is mostly accessible for those with disabilities. This Park would be classified as a “natural resource area” that is providing open space and preserving wetlands, which border the Park on the north, west, and south, and contain cattails.
