The Ypsilanti Township Park Commission has initiated a Park Community Service Award, which they are looking forward to awarding to either an individual(s) or an organization twice a year. It is time for the Township to pay tribute to those who have volunteered their time, talent, and resources by giving to and caring about our park system. The Award honors volunteer individual(s) or organizations who assist the community in park preservation, improvement and/or beautification.

Yes, it's the law! All dogs in Ypsilanti Township are required to be licensed and to wear a license tag at all times. Licenses must be renewed annually. Licensing can help reunite a lost or stolen dog with its owner and provides assurance that the dog is properly vaccinated against rabies.

Animal control services are provided to Ypsilanti Township residents by the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office. The Humane Society of Huron Valley is the designated animal shelter for Washtenaw County.

Cool off in the Water Park; featuring water slides, wave pool, lazy river and spraygrounds. Relax at the fishing pond. Take in nature on the trails (recently added 5 miles of paved trails and 3 miles of mountain bike trails) or challenge yourself to 18 holes of disc golf. Picnic tables and grills are located throughout the park with pavilions available for rent.

There are currently no cancellations.

All games and programs are on schedule.

Some limited burning is allowed in the Township. For the most part, burning is limited to recreational or ceremonial fires. Keep in mind that the Township has a very successful recycling program with regular brush and yard waste pick ups. Burning permits are issued under strict guidelines. If you feel you meet the guidelines, call and speak with the Fire Marshal, he can provide you with the additional details you need to obtain a permit.

Enrollment and/or participation in Parks & Recreation Department sponsored programs and events authorizes Ypsilanti Charter Township, its departments, employees and contractors to take photos and videos of you and your dependents for use in future brochures, flyers, documents, displays, in other Township publications, on the Township website, and social networking websites.
