New park amenities would replace the Haas Park Building, which was scheduled for demolition earlier this year.
Trenton council members approved a grant application to upgrade Haas Park with new playground equipment and picnic shelter at Monday night's city council meeting. City officials have applied for $50,000 through the Wayne County Park Millage Grant for improvements to the park. The new amenities would replace the community building that is no longer in use. The Haas Park Building was slated for demolition earlier this year, but the city engineer and building department have not had time to follow through with the demolition, according to City Administrator Jim Wagner. Trenton Patch erroneously reported the grant was to be used to refurbish the Haas Park Building. The building will be demolished, but an exact date has not been set. Joann …

The Trenton Fireworks are scheduled to begin at sundown on Wednesday, July 4.
Budget woes have hit nearly every aspect of the City of Trenton -- except for the fireworks display scheduled to begin at dusk Wednesday, July 4. Thanks to Fritz Enterprises, the Trenton 4th of July Fireworks will go off as per usual, but with a potentially bigger bang than ever before. Trenton's "Buzz Magazine" promises a fireworks display "like no other." Trenton Mayor Kyle Stack preferred to keep the actual amount of the generous donation private. The night is set to explode at Rotary Park above the glimmering reflection of the Detroit River. City officials have also scheduled a patriotic concert to precede the fireworks beginning at 8 p.m. Contact the Trenton Parks and Recreation Department for information on a VIP fireworks event …

Trenton Patch caught up with the Wayne County Sheriff's Department for a few important, life saving tips on boater safety.
Trenton Patch hit the water with the Wayne County Sheriff's Marine Unit Thursday for a first hand look at the importance of boater safety. With the weather heating up, unseasonably, there are a number of local boaters launching vessels out of the Elizabeth Park Marina. Over 100 boaters could be spotted less than a mile from the marina. Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon was on hand to offer tips and information to help keep boaters safe on the Detroit River. Napoleon stressed the importance of having life jackets readily accessible when out on the water and explained the dangers of mixing boating with alcohol. For information on getting a boater's license go to the Wayne County Sheriff's website. For a full list of Michigan boating laws …

The Trenton Parks and Recreation Department is set to run Elizabeth Park Marina next season.
The Trenton Parks and Recreation Deparment will be taking over operations for the Elizabeth Park Marina when the marina reopens next season. Wayne County Parks Director Beverly Watts approached Trenton administration in March because the county was losing money on the marina. Watts and Trenton Parks and Recreation Director Pat Hawkins created an agreement for Trenton to take over operations for the marina for one year, which allows the city to keep any revenue made by the marina. Hawkins said the marina would more than pay for itself and anticipates the marina to be a profit making venture for the city. Wayne County administrators anticipate the marina will bring in about $125,000 in total annual revenue next season according to City …
