Welcome to the mackinaw recreation site

The Mackinaw Recreation program serves all age
groups in the community by providing year-round activities for
children through baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball and
basketball. Most activities encompass children from first grade
through eighth grade. Adults can also enjoy a fall Adult Co-Ed
softball team.
All activities include opportunities for
parents to volunteer and enjoy quality time with their children. The
children’s activities have been very successful, and Mackinaw
Recreation has a high level of participation. This is one of the
best year-round programs to be found among communities in the area.
The Recreation Program also manages the Brock
Lake Facility,
located off Route 9, west of the Village of Mackinaw. The public can
fish
year round, or enjoy a picnic in a pavilion. An
old railroad bed provides
a flat walking trail adjacent to the hills, while
hiking trails
wind through
the trees and over the hilltops providing a scenic view of the
recreational
complex and lake below.
For more information about the Recreation
Program projects and
future offerings, see the Mackinaw Recreation Development Projects
Master Plan (Click on “hiking trails” hyperlink above).
