Grist Mill Park
OCBA assisted the City of Homer in the 1990’s with obtaining a Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund Grant for Grist Mill Park for the following improvements:
Wildlife observation deck and on-grade boardwalk
Paths and a pedestrian entry
Sand volleyball court
Playground improvements
Fishing pier with gazebo overlook
Directional signage and landscaping
In 2019 OCBA developed design concepts to expand parking; replace the restroom building and picnic shelter with a flexible facility; provide sledding hill amenities; and add more boardwalk and another fishing dock area on the lake.
OCBA continues to work with the City in 2021 to create additional boardwalks, event space, gathering space, and a splash area within this very popular park.
