ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. -- The St. Joseph County Parks Department is in the process of developing a new county park in Granger on Anderson Road and is seeking input from the community on park services and amenities.

Three Public Open House Forums will be held throughout the process at Discovery Middle School located at 10050 Brummitt Road in Granger. The open houses will be from 6-8 p.m. on March 18, April 24 and May 29, 2025.

“Responses to the survey and feedback at the Public Open House Forums help us gauge what programs and amenities the community is interested in and what they would like to see in a new County Park,” says Steve Slauson, St. Joseph County Parks’ director. “It’s been 40 years since St. Joseph County has developed a new County Park and we are excited to bring a new park onboard.

The Anderson Road property owned by the county is 115.5 acres, was purchased in 1999, and is in the northeast corner of St. Joseph County in Granger.

"Hiking trails? Adventure programming? Nature activities? Picnic shelters? What would you like to see at this new County Park? Share your input to help guide the future vision of this park that will positively impact our community for generations to come," the SJCPD said. 

Plans for the park can be seen online. 

Any questions about the new park can be directed to the St. Joseph County Parks Administrative Office at (574) 277-4828 or by e-mailing [email protected].
